About

Hi — I'm Ryley. I go by ryley-o.eth online. I'm a smart-contract engineer at Art Blocks, where I get to help bring the visions of many amazing artists to the blockchain.

Before Art Blocks I spent eight years at The Boeing Company designing and analyzing new airplanes in the Flight Sciences group. I'm formally trained as an aerodynamicist (MS in Aeronautics & Astronautics), and a lot of my generative work continues to lean on that background.

I make generative art — most recently I., an on-chain neural network on Art Blocks Studio, and Flows, a potential-flow shader piece. I write occasionally about smart contracts, aerodynamics, on-chain AI, and whatever else is rattling around.

I'm a father, husband, engineer, and generative artist. I'm passionate about living generously and including everyone — as the father of someone with Down syndrome, I'm reminded daily of how amazing each of us can be when we love and care for those around us.
