  • Edge + Homelab Infrastructure
  • Rust, WASM, and performance tooling

About

Engineer, adventurer, and perpetual learner—rooted in Rust and inspired by the outdoors.

Ryan Rumana portrait

I'm a software engineer with roots in Tallahassee and degrees in Computer Science and Machine Learning from the Colorado School of Mines. I thrive on building—from Rust tooling and Kubernetes platforms to custom PCs and interactive experiments.

When I'm not experimenting with infrastructure, you'll likely find me outside: hiking, snowboarding, or training for triathlons. That curiosity drives this site, where I share projects that combine performance, automation, and thoughtful design.
