Ryan Kruse is a Director, Hockey Systems and Technology at Chicago Blackhawks. He possess expertise in software development, perl, cloud computing, java, agile methodologies and 27 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Ryan was a great go-to engineer when we needed a fix, improvement, or custom feature to close a deal at Hyper9. Ryan’s positive demeanor creates an instant rapport with customers, which he backs up by working hard to understand their key pain points and delivering timely and effective solutions. I hope to work with Ryan again down the road.", "I have always found it difficult to categorize Ryan - because he is a great software developer, a great product manager, a great team lead/manager, and a great communicator - all rolled into one. At AlterPoint, Ryan was my goto man - totally dependable to deliver high quality software (regardless of the task assigned to him) . One of the most important qualities of Ryan is his clarity of thinking and his ability to effectively express that clarity verbally, in writing, and as well as code. His code is extremely easy to read, with the right amount of documentation in the right places, accompanied with easy to understand test cases. Ryan is a natural leader and has a friendly and easy-going personality that made it very easy (and natural) for him to step-in for me (as Network Technology Team Manager) whenever I was unavailable. When it was time for me to leave AlterPoint, Ryan was the natural pick to lead the Network Technology Team and later on the ZipTie team. Companies that are in the network management area will find a gold mine in Ryan. His understanding of the network and affinity with the network-management-software-users is unparalleled. Ryan was the backbone of the Network Technology Team and AlterPoint, and was a sounding board for product management on many occasions. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with a person like Ryan and I can confidently recommend Ryan for a senior-level software development position (e.g. Senior Software Engineer, Team Lead, Software Development Manager, etc.) at any company.", and "Ryan has a unique blend of technical expertise and interpersonal skills that is hard to find in one person. I've nominated him for the company's quarterly reward program on more than one occasion and have consistently enjoyed working with him. Strongest possible recommendation."
