About Ryan Hayes

I am a nine-time Microsoft MVP award winner, business owner, community leader, and builder of award-winning web apps with millions of daily users. I lead organizations to transform their distributed remote teams and deliver products faster through communication, continuous integration and delivery, and battle-earned industry insight spanning healthcare, education, publishing, nutrition, science and research, and more.With a mentor mindset, I always strive to help others grow both individually and as a unit, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing. Communication is essential, so I actively find opportunities to grow that aspect of my skills. I co-organize the TriDev software development meetup and regularly give talks at meetups and user groups around the state, and write technical and leadership articles at http://ryanhayes.net.
