NYC · Open to the right opportunity
Bailey Ryan
M.S. Technology Commercialization & Entrepreneurship, RPI. I find where humans are doing work that software should be doing — and build the thing that fixes it.
About
I studied Technology Commercialization & Entrepreneurship at RPI because I was drawn to a specific problem: good ideas fail not from lack of innovation, but from poor translation into something real and usable. That's been the throughline of everything I've done since. At work, I've built tools that sales and ops teams actually use — automating the manual, surfacing the invisible, cutting the friction. Outside of it, that same instinct led me to build the operations tool that runs my Dad's construction company, Rygrove — replacing a mess of notes and texts with something his field crews use every day. Whether the problem is at a company or in a family business, the work is the same: listen, figure out what's broken, and ship something that works.

Teaching a friend guitar. Teaching something really exposes any gaps in your own understanding — and fills them. Enjoying it more than I expected.
