Ryan Kennedy

I'm a full-stack engineer who spent 13 years building production software before focusing specifically on Shopify. Ryan Kennedy Consulting is built to stay small on purpose — one senior engineer, a handful of clients at a time, and no incentive to sell you more than the project needs.

I care more about a storefront that holds up under real traffic than one that just looks good in a demo. That means production habits carried over from full-stack work — tested code, clear documentation, and a build that the next developer (or I, six months later) can actually understand.

  • I scope before I build

    The Blueprint exists so ambiguity gets resolved on paper, before it becomes a change order mid-project.

  • I say no when a project isn't a fit

    If a $20 app solves your problem, I'll tell you — even if it means I don't get the work.

  • I stay small

    One client's project at a time gets my full attention, not a rotation of accounts.
