π Hi, I'm Michael Ryan!
π Current Projects
Poker Game Bot Competition
- Tech Stack: C#, .NET
- A bot tournament engine that pits AI agents against each other β each player's strategy runs as an executable, with the engine handling game flow, state modelling, and tournament management in real time.
Flick
- Tech Stack: (your stack here)
- A high-throughput feature-flag service that rolls out features to a deterministic % of users without a deploy. Flag evaluation runs in-memory over gRPC/REST, keeping checks at microsecond latency under real production load.
JsonTool
- Tech Stack: HTML, JavaScript (zero dependencies)
- A fully client-side JSON toolkit β beautify, minify, field-filter, and convert JSON arrays to CSV with fine-grained control over nested/flattened output. Ships as a single self-contained HTML file; works offline, over
file://, or on any static host. Nothing ever leaves your device.
Portfolio Website
