Hello there!

I don’t quite know how you made your way here but welcome. My name is Ryan Whytsell. I “make” things. By that I mean I tend to break and make things about equally. Fixing things on the other hand I do more often than both.

Perhaps I am a fixer…I think that has different connotations that I don’t intend. So lets go with maker instead.

The things I fix, make, and break tend to be of the electronic variety. I am toying with some hardware things more recently but my focus is usually on the software side. I also intend to do more woodworking in the near future. To buy food and shelter I work as a software engineer at a place you have probably heard of.

Among my recent things include: The site you are on now, Jim, and a twitch chat data scraper

Yes ok what is Jim. Jim is a lawnmower. Not just any lawnmower though, it is my lawnmower. Listen I hate mowing the lawn, it brings back memories of mowing my parents 1 acre yard during August in humid West Virginia. Instead I want to chill in my house and remote control my lawnmower. I plan on Jim being all electric and coded by hand with love. I also plan for him to spin a sharpened iron bar at 3000 rpm. I will write about Jim more later.

If you want to reach me:

  1. email! try “me” at the url you are on.
  2. Good luck finding me on socials.
