👋 Hey there, I'm Ryan, a former software engineer turned software sales engineer.For over a decade, I worked mostly in .NET web and service development, but also spent a great deal of time improving my teams' continuous integration and delivery practices. I gained experience with tools like TFS and Azure DevOps, TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, and others. I took that experience on the road to speak at user groups and conferences to share with others how they can also improve their software delivery experience.Why did I switch to software sales? A few reasons. The opportunity was to join Octopus Deploy as one of their first US-based team members. I really enjoyed using the product and following its progress. I also really enjoyed meeting people at conferences and talking to them about their problems, and sharing my experience. Now I get to do that every day. I speak with teams across the globe, and learn how their processes work, what they're missing, what I can share, and what I can learn.
