A little about who I am, what I do, and how I got here.
Noah Ryan
When I'm not running around a city with friends, traveling for work, recreating real-world places in 3D, or cooking (literally), I'm usually deep in a project - sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always building something. :)
Here's a snapshot of my work: At AWS, I built a full-stack React & TypeScript internal tool powering critical APIs. At Roblox, I support top creators on the platform, handle security escalations, and lead emergency response efforts - and previously did extensive contract work with Roblox bringing site events to life and collaborating with their former Twitch team. Before tech, I served in the U.S. Air Force, maintaining radar and AWACS systems on various (ongoing) missions.
I've taken a slightly unconventional path, but I bring precision, ownership, and a bias toward shipping things that are both cool and actually work!
A mix of professional work and personal projects I've built over the years.
Full-stack React & TypeScript app fronting a complex API at Amazon Web Services. SigV4 proxy, ReactFlow visualisations, and a diagnostic tool - shipped with full documentation.
1:1 replica of the real Roblox office, built from Go Pro footage using only primitives - in a week, solo. Became a Twitch stream staple and sparked internal metaverse conversations.
14-hour Roblox livestream event on Twitch - cross-server voting that directly impacted the stream, UGC prizes, minigames, and hundreds of concurrent players.
Full deployment menu system - faction selection, weapon loadout, mobile deployment, and cinematic service record. Diegetic military sci-fi design with scriptable cameras and viewport previews.
Where I've worked, what I've done, and the roles that shaped me.
