Ryan Leo, Partner, Big Fish Technology
If Technology is understood, set up properly, and documented well, it can make life in business (and at home) easier, more efficient, even relaxing. Ryan loves to teach and inform. Helping his clients understand how technology works and how to use it is very satisfying to him. Resolving a problem is one thing, but if he can teach someone how the problem occurred and steps to keep the issue from happening – he’s just taught that person to fish. DIY is great – at home! When this is done in a business place, it often ends or limps along in chaos.
Ryan enjoys creating a project plan, setting the right resources in place, and ensuring that technology is setup right and working correctly. Stop doing it yourself, you’ll just end up spending more money in the long term! In all of Ryan’s years of working with technology, one thing that stands out as a bane in the eyes of his peers is that of documentation. For some reason, fellow geeks hate to document. Maybe it’s because Ryan’s education was completely essay-based or because he loves to dumb things down; he just doesn’t suffer from this problem. Ryan’s technical writing at NASA has continued to develop in parallel to his technical experience as time has elapsed. Ryan has an innate ability to take technical procedure and put it into written and illustrated material that makes sense – and he doesn’t mind doing it 🙂
Ryan’s company is Big Fish Technology and they understand how businesses work – which is just as important as technical skill. Ryan could be overflowing with technical skill, but if he cannot understand how a business works, especially before he tries to implement technology, he’ll fail. It is the ability to first understand businesses and sit on the business side of the table that makes Big Fish valuable. They have the technical expertise and understand the importance of your business. Specialties: Business Development, Project Management, Technical Writing, Report Development, Networking, System Administration.
