// hello, world
25+ years building for the web - from early HTML projects to RPG systems, SaaS experiments, APIs, and web tools built to make money.
About Me
My name is Ryan Spegal — dedicated father of five and self-taught developer with over 25 years of experience. It started at age 12, teaching myself HTML to build a RuneScape fansite. It hasn't stopped since.
I'm proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Node.js, with a focus on systems that actually do something: game mechanics, directories, dashboards, APIs, and SaaS products.
I work for myself, mostly on things I can own long-term. That usually means tools, games, or SaaS ideas with a real shot at generating revenue without turning into a job.
I like building the logic underneath things: RPG progression, voting systems, APIs, admin tools, data models, and automation.
25+ years across HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Node.js, and Vue. Built everything from small tools to six-figure revenue sites.
I manage my own time and priorities. No middlemen, no wasted cycles — just focused work on things that matter.
I care about small products that can keep earning: simple scope, useful features, low maintenance, and clear monetization.
