Hi there, my name is Ryan Ragona, and I'm an interactive developer.
I live in Seattle, Washington, with my wife and son. I'm passionate about my work, and I love learning new programming languages and technologies - so although I specialize in all things Flash I'm always learning a new language. (Right now I'm having a lot of fun playing with Python / Django, and I'm working on a few non-Flash apps as well as my Flash projects.) Something about writing clean, beautiful code just satisfies me, and I consider myself lucky to get to do it for a living.
I used to be a print graphic designer, but these days I pretty much just write code all day long, and that's just how I like it. Up until recently I was working as an interactive developer at Sony, but now I am a Senior Software Development Engineer for Offbeat Creations, which is a small startup specializing in social networking games.
With my spare time I like to work on side projects, and I'm always tinkering with one idea or another that's popped into my head. If I'm not sitting in front of a computer you might find me putting some miles on my road bike, spending time with my wife, playing with my son, or reading a book. (Alright, maybe a programming book.)
