AI/ML engineer, systems builder, curious human
I'm Ryan, a Senior AI/ML Engineer at Dais, where I lead AI/ML implementation. Outside of work, I build projects in Rust, Kubernetes, computer vision, and computational time complexity.

Projects
A few projects I'm especially proud of, with code and longer write-ups where available.
Reverse Game of Life explored through Rust, WebAssembly, SAT solving, and a completed paper.
Turned a technical research problem into an accessible browser case study backed by a working solver workspace.
Six-node bare-metal Kubernetes platform for GitOps, storage, shared services, and ongoing systems work.
Evolved the cluster into a maintainable platform spanning networking, storage, delivery, observability, and shared data services.
Completed edge-ML prototype for cross-camera person re-identification on Raspberry Pi.
Demonstrated a distributed edge pipeline that retained 79% ReID mAP after INT8 quantization while reducing measured runtime.
Research & writing
My research and technical writing, with PDFs, code, and presentation material when available.
Papers, reports, and talksA machine-supported proof that one-step predecessor existence is NP-complete for explicitly encoded finite Game-of-Life boards with a permanently dead exterior.
An edge-oriented person detection and re-identification prototype that shares embeddings instead of streaming every camera feed to a central server.
Presented at Stanford ACT4AERO workshop
Beyond the terminal
Originally from Tallahassee, Florida, I now live in the Bay Area. In my free time I like to get outside, cook, maintain my Kubernetes cluster, and follow whatever technical problem has caught my attention.
