Summary

My name is Ryan and I'm a social media addict. I'm also a web developer and entrepreneur. I build social networks and put together international development teams to create standards compliant web and mobile applications. It's a mouthful, I know. In a nutshell, I have a passion for helping small businesses capitalize on new internet technologies and trends.

I've had a pretty colorful work history and a lot of once-in-a-lifetime jobs that that have been key in helping me explore creative web solutions. When not collecting copious passwords, I'm usually practicing Slovak on poor unsuspecting locals or acting as ambassador for our local InterNations community.
Specialties: web technologies, information architecture, social networks and media, open source solutions, web standards, digital media, "expedient" travel

Experience

  • Sept 2010 - Present
    Co-Founder, Managing Partner / SPECIAL OPERATIONS Advertising, Design & Web
  • Sept 2010 - Present
    Teacher of Informatics / Evanjelické lýceum v Bratislave
    This is more of a hobby than a job. I love teaching, especially about the internet, web, computers and how we can use these things to make more time for what's important to us. My kids are great and it's kind of a way to give back to this community that's given so much to me.
  • Jul 2010 - Present
    General Director / OREC Solutions s.r.o.
    It all lead up to this. I created OREC Solutions to help small and medium-sized local businesses capitalize on new internet technologies and trends. We can build specialized web applications, social networks and mobile apps, but what we're most passionate about is teaching clients how to use "off-the-shelf," often free technologies to improve workflow, logistics, etc., that they otherwise wouldn't know about. There are plenty of developers around, a few designers, but when a business owner starts asking about project management solutions, location tracking, inventory control, there's always been a monumental vacuum. Until now.

    Chief Information Officer / AFX

Café Crème (Instrumental) by Ditty Rambik

Get Smart

Still shaking my head over the Russian “Illegals Program” (come on, Mr. Fradkov, if THAT is all you’ve got maybe you should get off the sauce - a little “coding” maybe?).  I’ve seen crack heads selling a stolen, half-eaten steak with more talent than this so-called spy ring.  And they let Metsos out on bail so he can disappear? There’s definitely a lot more going on here than meets the eye. I hope. Maybe one too many Bourne movies has lured these guys into a false sense of competence?
