Hi, I'm Ryan Wold đź‘‹

from Vacaville, California.

These are notes to myself.

Sorta like a sketchbook.

I'm a husband, father, and son.
Professional software engineer, amateur gardener.
I have strong preferences for teams who iterate quickly and work in the open.

I consult to teams on systems design and software delivery at Civic Studio. Get in touch!

Click around, and let me know what you think đź’­

Tiny tools

Small things I built for my own workflows. I hope you find them useful too!
Image Tool

Cropper

Quickly crop an image to a specific size (good for social media previews)

Visualization D3.js

Sketch Data

A data-driven document for seeing a single dataset in a) freeform or b) projected with defined axes

Identity Open Source

DID Page

Generate a DID (Decentralized Identifier), and generate a Credential, and verify it

Where is my mind?

Let's chat about

  • Open-source software development. I write a lot of software using things others have built and I try to share back when possible. I prefer to work in the open.
  • Bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everyone. I'm a fan of Bitcoin, the Scalable Version. I believe in Satoshi's Vision.
  • Baseball. I grew up playing baseball (SS, P). Walt Weiss era A's fan. Tim Lincecum era Giants fan. Nolan Ryan: the greatest. New fan of Elly de La Cruz.
  • Modular Architecture. Houses should work more like Legos™️. Distributed fab labs in communities can support a paradigm where we can more readily collaborate and evolve our homes.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
