About

Hey, I’m Ryan (a.k.a "Robotnik") — software engineer, volunteer lifesaver, community moderator, dad, and lifelong gamer. I spend part of my free time moderating Arqade and Sustainable Living, answering questions, wrangling flags, and nudging the community toward better.

If I’m not behind a desk building web stuff (React/TypeScript stacks), or keeping my local beach safe, you'll find me blasting through achievement challenges, running D&D campaigns, or revisiting classics like TF2, Fallout, Minecraft, and GTA: San Andreas. Always up for a board/card game too.

Find me on YouTube, Steam, Discord or PSN. Let’s play.
