The Story
Growing up outside the historic streets of Boston, Ryan stands as a beacon of innovation in the tech industry. Despite his rapid ascent to CEO of a cutting-edge tech startup, Ryan's heart remains tethered to the snowy trails of the mountains. Once a seasoned snowboarder, he recently transitioned to skiing, embracing the thrill of learning a new sport. Uphill and backcountry skiing have become his newfound passions, mirroring his ethos of constantly pushing boundaries and seeking uncharted territories.
Real Talk
This entire site is an experiment to see how much coding I can do with AI. I still need to glue things together though. Everything was auto-generated, the first pass was vibe coded using ChatGPT in 2022 and revamped with Claude Code in 2025, sorry not sorry! 😉 I'm solving a real problem (where to uphill ski with the passes I have), making it simple and fun to use, easy to build, deploy and low maintenance. Happy to improve, change, or remove, just let me know 🤘❄️⛷️🏂
