Father · Engineer · Founder
Hello, I'm Ryan Dierickx
Father, husband, lifelong tinkerer and founder of RND Tech & Design. Based in Seattle, Washington, I build Power BI visuals at Microsoft by day, bringing business data to life. In my previous role I created and led development of the Digital Production Manager system at Starbucks.
I'm passionate about watching things grow. Whether it's a startup finding its footing, a small business expanding its reach, or my son learning something new there's nothing quite like witnessing that moment when potential becomes reality. That same passion drives my work at RND Tech & Design, where I help organizations of all sizes from solo professionals to specialty retailers harness custom web solutions and AI to accelerate their growth.
My Journey
From non‑profit websites to enterprise-scale solutions at Microsoft here's how I learned that technology should remove barriers, not create them.
Early Projects
Building foundations
Early Projects
Building foundations
I cut my teeth building websites and simple tools for non‑profits like Communities in Schools. From there I helped an outdoor‑gear startup launch its first online store and then joined Healthy Paws Pet Insurance to take their product from concept to market. Those experiences showed me that technology should remove barriers, not create them.

Flexible solutions
After working at boutique firms, I partnered with clients across industries to replace rigid templates with flexible, maintainable platforms. Even as I moved into larger-scale work, I never lost my passion for helping small businesses grow I simply found ways to bring enterprise-level solutions within their reach.
