Tidy Datacenter
A cozy puzzle game that teaches datacenter fabric redundancy by letting you get it wrong — and then showing you exactly what broke.
⬡ What I Do
Three ways I show up
Builder
AI agents, workflow automation, full-stack apps, and a datacenter simulation game built in Rust. I build things end-to-end.
View Projects →Creator
Creative vision that drives technical direction. I think in systems and stories — shaping how products feel, how teams move, and how ideas turn into things worth building.
See the work →Consultant
AI systems design and workflow automation through Blue Ridge Systems. I help organizations cut the AI hype and ship real solutions.

Pinned Projects
abstractRyan.ai
The root project. A portfolio built on the premise that the next visitor won't be a person scrolling — it'll be an agent querying. A2A, MCP, and ACP descriptors, a JSON-RPC endpoint, an agent mode, and an ask-don't-browse interface. Also how I promote and sell myself.
💻 TypeScript

💻 JavaScript
Tokru
An agent-native marketplace for makers, builders, and creators. Stand up a brand, a website, and a storefront that AI agents can actually discover, query, and transact with — built on a typed, A2A-compliant capability profile with full MCP support.
💻 JavaScript
Apstra CloudLabs
🔒Took a handful of Ansible scripts and re-architected them into a global cloud platform. Survived an acquisition. Convinced a Fortune 500 CEO to increase our budget. Onboarded Juniper's entire sales and support org. Team of four.
💻 Python
⚗️ Agentic Development · Case Study
Root Cause
A deliberately complex system built in an unfamiliar domain to answer one question: what does agentic development actually produce?
Ryan architected a full datacenter sim — power distribution, thermal management, CLOS networking, cascading failures, a local multi-agent AI system — in Rust and Bevy, a stack he'd never used. Claude Code and Lisa executed under his direction. 80+ integration tests shipped. The methodology held. The game is real. The point was the process.

The Path Into AI From the Infrastructure Side
A network engineer messaged me this week.
You Cannot Bullshit a Soldering Iron
Blender and 3D animation has always had too steep a learning curve and I have consistently fallen short of making headway in learning these skills.
The Long Way Around
Five and a half years from network automation into AI — what worked, what cost me a year I'd like back, and the number I wish someone had handed me.
✦ Outside the Terminal
Creativity is how
I find new directions
I paint to slow down. I build games to think sideways. Art isn't separate from the technical work — it's where the best ideas come from. Stepping away from a hard problem and making something with my hands has a way of unlocking things that staring at a screen never does.
Not professional services. Just what keeps the thinking fresh.
See what I'm exploring →Painting
Deliberate slowdown. Abstract series.
Game Dev
Building Root Cause to think differently.
New Directions
Every creative detour teaches something.
Making Things
Curiosity as a practice, not a deliverable.
Let's build
something worth shipping.
Whether you need AI workflow automation, a technical collaborator, or someone to translate your vision into production-quality code — I'm up for it.
