Hello, again.
Hey there! I'm Ryan, and my journey in the tech world is a story of grit, resilience, and passion. Although I originally graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology, I pivoted into Product Design during the pandemic and fell in love with this fascinating field. In a time as uncertain and volatile as the pandemic was, I applied to over 1,000 jobs before securing my first break into the tech industry. It’s been a wild ride, but the perseverance paid off.
Since then, I've had the amazing opportunity to build innovative products from the ground up at multiple startups, ranging from commercial real estate to consumer payments industries. Each project has deepened my expertise and broadened my perspectives, and I’m sure the best is yet to come.
Here's to resilience, continuous learning, and the excitement of creating - I hope you’ll be a part of the journey ahead!
Interesting things about me
Places I’ve lived
I was born in the Philippines and moved to Chicago at the age of 8. We then relocated to Sacramento until the end of my high school. I then moved to Las Vegas to finish my college years. After 8 years in Las Vegas, I moved to Iowa and eventually made my way to New York.
Favorite Hobby
In sixth grade, I was given an elective class that I didn't know would change my life. With only three months of experience, my teacher signed me up for an archery tournament in our small town. To my surprise, I won first place. Since then, I have never put the bow down.
Love cooking
Cooking for me is a sacred journey of creativity and connection. In the kitchen, each ingredient becomes a storyteller, and every sizzle is a dance of flavors. The kitchen is a place where I find joy, solace, and the magic of transforming simple elements into extraordinary dishes.
