I'm Ryan Rix, hardcore freestyle vimmer, and hacker, botmaster and doer of cool things living in Oakland, California.

I make 3D printers do cool things at MadeSolid, a really awesome additive manufacturing service in downtown Oakland. I'm building a lot of software to automate the printers and make it ridiculously easy to get models from you to us and parts from us to you, as quickly as possible. It's pretty awesome.

I also build high power sport rockets, from scratch and from kits, as well as develop custom motors which I'll probably never launch.

In past lives, I've been a hackerspace board member, javascript nerd, freelance developer, freelance devopser, and ruby on rails nerd. I am still some of these things.
