Hi, I'm Ryan Dalton
A full-stack software engineer specializing in Next.js, Azure, and modern web development.
About Me
Get to know me better and what drives my passion for development.
Software Engineer & Project Manager
Hi! I'm Ryan Dalton - a solutions-driven software engineer with a focus on full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and people leadership.
At Agility Consultants, I led a team of six developers while modernizing legacy applications with Next.js, TailwindCSS, and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines. I bridge the gap between development and management to deliver quality solutions on time.
My path to tech wasn't traditional. I served in the U.S. Army Reserves and spent a decade as a truck driver before transitioning to software engineering through App Academy in 2021.
Let's connect - I'm always open to new projects, opportunities, and innovative ways to use technology to make a meaningful impact.

Work Experience
My professional journey and the companies I've had the pleasure to work with.
Led a team of 6 Software Engineers while contributing directly to coding efforts. One specific accomplishment includes redesigning a high-traffic SharePoint-based system using batched queries, which reduced page load times from ~30 seconds to 3 seconds and resolved frequent query overloads.
Mentored junior/full stack developers and conducted pair programming sessions to promote code quality, knowledge sharing, and consistent development practices. Contributed directly to Next.js frontend and Python backend features utilizing Microsoft SQL database.
Developed web applications and internal tools utilizing JavaScript, HTML, and CSS from detailed functional requirements. Refactored legacy codebases for up to 8× performance improvements using profiling tools and modern design patterns, significantly improving application responsiveness.
Conducted mock technical interviews (system design, DS&A) and provided debugging support for over 250 software engineers in a peer mentorship role.
Built tactical bridges in high-stress environments, supporting logistics across land and water with a strong emphasis on team coordination, situational awareness, and decision-making under stress.
