About Ryan

Hello, I’m Ryan

I share practical ways to use AI, accessibility tools, and automation to live well with Multiple Sclerosis.

This site is for finding new paths when your body and mind work differently.

My Story

Before My Diagnosis

I worked as a programmer. I loved photography and writing.

Slowly, daily tasks became harder. My hands hurt. I used wrist braces. I blamed carpal tunnel.

Walking grew difficult too.

Learning I Have MS

In late 2022, my mother noticed my walk had changed.

Tests confirmed Multiple Sclerosis.

April 2023: official diagnosis. My life shifted from building software to building new ways to live.

Today

Walking one block is hard. Brain fog visits daily.

But I still have good moments. I use those moments to solve problems and share solutions.

Accessibility is not extra. It is essential.

How AI Helps Me

I explored AI tools when I needed them most.

What AI does for me:

  • Voice commands when typing hurts
  • Writing help when words get stuck
  • Automation when energy is low
  • Creative tools when my hands can’t draw or click precisely

My programming background helps, but these tools are for everyone.

My promise: If there’s a way to do it, I’ll find it.

What Makes This Site Different

The internet has too much “good enough” content.

I only share what I actually use. What actually helps.

No theory. Just real solutions tested by someone who needs them.

Finding Community

I want to connect with others:

  • In MS communities on Reddit
  • In web accessibility discussions
  • On LinkedIn with people seeking solutions

My Hope for You

I wrote this for people with brain fog.

My goal: you leave feeling hopeful, confident, and less alone.

I can’t “just push through” anymore. Now I work smarter.

I share everything I discover.

Necessity is the mother of invention. MS gave me the necessity. AI gave me the tools.
