# Ryan Louie

> Software Engineer @ Amazon | Ex-founder

Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/ryanlouie

I'm a full-stack software engineer with a knack for working cross-functionally. I'm passionate about user-driven products that solve real problems. Being a founder taught me to wear every hat—from software developer to business operations. I’ve also spent a lot of time working in customer-facing technical roles, which has sharpened my ability to lead teams and build consensus. I’m the kind of person who thrives in a team environment, always ready to jump in, solve challenges, and keep things moving forward. Outside of work, you’ll find me reading sci-fi novels, hiking, or at a local concert.
