During his semester as a team lead, he led 9 interdisciplinary students through a process of ideation, market validation, and software development to develop the beta version of SIREN. SIREN is a weather analysis application that automates the analysis and notification of hazardous weather to the trucking industry. During the 2 months, the team developed a proprietary algorithm with help from meteorologists at the National Weather Center and developed the web-based application with CCEW alumni working in Google Maps.

Ryan graduated from the University of Oklahoma with his masters in Computer Science in May 2015. During his 5 years, he worked on many projects with local companies include medical information tracking, book publishing, including raising $55k for a weather analytics startup. For his UIF project, Ryan spent time connecting multiple major colleges at Oklahoma resulting in the Innovation Hub at OU, a 25,000 square foot space for experimentation. The space will open in March 2016.

Ryan now works at Microsoft as a Program Manager on Office developing the engineering systems to scale technologies to billion's of users in addition to supporting Microsoft's internal startup ecosystem. Recently, Ryan brought multiple internal groups together to allow startups to translate their application to any of the supported 130 languages for free, leading to multiple apps growing at a 10x rate.
