Hello my name is Ryan. I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer based in Galway, Ireland. I'm an open minded developer who loves trying new tools/technologies. Always furthering self-improvement by learning new languages, technologies, and development techniques. Some of my skills include:
Create full stack mobile applications for Android and iOS using React Native and some of the latest technologies including React functional components/hooks, Redux, and GraphQL.
Create and deploy full stack web applications for browsers using NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB, React and some of the latest technologies including GraphQL, Redux, and React functional components/hooks.
Create desktop applications, scripts and tools using Java, Python, C# and other technologies.
Full stack web application built from scratch using the MERN stack. The project uses NodeJS / ExpressJS on the back end, MongoDB cloud storage for the database, and React on the front end.
View On GitHubMy first full stack app. This project showed me the true meaning of being a full stack developer. I learned a great deal from this project and it pushed me to continue to develop my React skills.- Ryan Silva

View On GitHub Live DemoMy biggest API to date. This project helped me solidify concepts I had previously learned and apply them to a project that I am proud of. This gave me a new respect for back end development and really helped me understand the importance of API documentation as you develop.- Ryan Silva
QuickHub is a simple and easy to use solution for looking up GitHub users and accessing their profile information. Users can search GitHub profiles and see related profile data. This project was built using React hooks, the React Context API
View On GitHub Live DemoThis project got me hooked on using React hooks! After using class based components and set state I decided to dive into a new facet of React development. It's important to me that I stay up to date and have a good understanding of the latest technologies.- Ryan Silva

MyJourney is a private journal application for mobile devices. The application is built using a GraphCool back end and Expo with React Native front end using React hooks. It also uses GraphQL with the Apollo GraphQL hooks library.
View On GitHubI had learned how to build React Native applications and dabbled in GraphQL. I wanted to build something that combined both of these technologies and added something new. I was already using React hooks so I decided to try the beta version of Apollo Graph QL hooks. At first there were a few hiccups but the satisfaction of getting it all to work together was immense!- Ryan Silva
Check out my journey where I completed the #365DaysOfCode challenge, completing 365 consecutive days of code while engaging with the online coding community over Twitter!
This challenge helped solidify daily habits of continuous learning and seeking feedback from the community.
While doing this challenge I was able to grow as a developer by taking that feedback and making improvements to my code.
Finished the Movie Search component in my #ReactJS app that pulls from the #TMDb #API Also added #CSSModules to make it look pretty. Upcoming features include searching for actor, and top grossing movies by year!
