My name is (William) Ryan Parker. I typically go by my middle name, Ryan. I currently lead an engineering group at Indeed specializing in financial product web applications.

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Central Arkanas, majoring in Chemistry and minoring in Computer Science. I obtained my master’s degree from the Brodbelt group at the University of Texas at Austin. There my work focused on identification of cystiene-containing peptides and proteins via UVPD of chemical derivitaziation of chromophores. A list of my peer-reviewed publications from that can be found here.
