About Ryan Whipple

My career is defined by the relationships I\'ve built and the products I\'ve delivered that set others up for their own successes. I have used my communication and analytical skills to define problems, reach agreements on objectives, and design exceptional solutions that last. Most recently I led several key process stand-ups and software implementations in a rapidly-growing data center environment. I have worked on projects ranging from ERP implementation, custom software and workflow design, retail & wholesale logistics, to foreign military sales & advising. In these projects I\'ve played many roles: manager, project manager, analyst, writer, designer, and others. The key to my success has always been finding the gaps and influencing stakeholders to team up and take meaningful, sustainable steps to address the problem, and build momentum with each successful step. I\'m driven by the challenge of designing solutions that no only reach the desired end-state, but minimize disruption and build confidence in teams during transitional periods; a perfect solution that can\'t actually be implemented is no solution at all! I\'m looking forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and experience as an operational leader working with developers to a career as a developer myself.
