LUNARNOVA | SOLUTIONS
Founder & Lead Engineer

Hi, I'm Ryan.

I started this company because I love building things.

After years in the industry, I saw too many good businesses bogged down by bad software, broken data, and overly complex systems that no one knew how to use. I wanted to change that.

The Mission

My goal is simple: Reduce frustration.

Technology should feel like a superpower, not a chore. I believe in building systems that last—foundations that are understandable, maintainable, and actually solve the problem at hand without adding unnecessary bloat.

I moved out here to Idaho a few years ago to build a life, a career, and a company based on these values: honesty, clarity, and doing good work.

The Tech

I use modern, powerful tools to build faster and better. Before AI and low-code revolutions, custom software used to cost an arm and a leg. Now, we can scale efficiency like never before.

This allows me to offer incredible prices to startups and small businesses who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford enterprise-grade help.

The AI Approach

I use AI as a force multiplier, not a crutch. I have the technical background to know when code is correct and when an AI is hallucinating.

I verify everything. Quality and security come first. The result is you get the speed of modern tools with the reliability of an experienced engineer.

More Than Just Code

LunarNova is an expression of my passion for all things tech and creative. You might see links to Games or Prints on this site—these are other divisions of the same passion.

But when we work together on your system, you get 100% of my professional focus.
