Bio

Ryan Benedetti works as a Software Engineer for Cambia Health Solutions. He works with Ruby-on-Rails, React, Redux, Next.js, and is currently learning Go to build new microservices.

Before working in the health care technology sector, Ryan worked in Higher Education, serving as the Lead Web Developer at the University of Portland. Prior to that, Ryan served as Department Head for Information Technology and Computer Engineering at Salish Kootenai College, on a team that created an NSF-funded four-year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program and Science, Tech, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) camps for eighth to twelfth graders.

He has also worked as editor, web database developer, and information systems specialist for a river, stream, and wetland research program in the School of Forestry at the University of Montana.

One of Ryan's greatest passions is teaching and training coding and other technology to new learners. He volunteered for several years in Portland schools to teach code and technology skills to kids.

Ryan holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing from the University of Montana and his poems have been published in Cut Bank and Andrei Codrescu's Exquisite Corpse. He spends his free hours painting, cartooning, practicing classical guitar, playing blues harmonica, and practicing zazen. He spends his best moments with his daughters, and his wife, Shonna, in Portland, OR.
