Ryan F. Kelly

I am a software engineer and occasional consultant. I live in the seaside town of Inverloch, on Bunurong Country near Melbourne, Australia. I currently work remotely as Head of Software Engineering at harrison.ai.

The best way to contact me is by email; use ryan@ plus the domain of this website.

Professionally, I have worked as a software engineer for over a decade. I have substantial experience with Python, JavaScript, and Rust, but will confidently dabble in just about any language. I've worked at scale across the stack, from back-end services to webapps to native clients, and have even spent a few years in management. I sometimes write about those experiences on my blog.

Academically, I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the Intelligent Agents Laboratory at the University of Melbourne. My undergraduate studies were a double bachelor's degree in Engineering and Computer Science, which I was awarded with first class honours. If you're interested in logical approaches to reasoning about knowledge, action and change, you might enjoy a reading more about my research.

Personally, I enjoy public speaking, theatre and performance arts of any persuasion. I am a keen hiker and camper, even though it means being disconnected from the Internet for hours or even days at a time.
