Hello, world.

I'm Ryan - Catholic, husband, and product engineer building India's unlimited internet dream.

From the real world impact of Wiom's decision science engines to incessant aura-farming by sharpening my vim-first open source CLI/TUI stack, I love what I do.

I spend my spare time preparing for the AGI-apocolypse by re-learining high school math and physics with a focus on intuition (instead of rigour), and documenting it all at notes.ryangerardwilson.com
