Ryan is a wonderful high spirited, down to earth and honest leader. He deals with contracts, vendors, HR, high level executives and all the while he is deep down a technologist. I've seen him in some stressful situations. He maintains his cool, rationalizes, and then works towards an objective all the while maintaining relationships. He is a pleasure to work with and I expect our paths will cross again.
Source: LinkedIn Brian Sulka May 17, 2013Ryan has been one of the most effective managers I've worked with in any position. He has vision and empowers his leadership team to work towards achieving that vision. He successfully lead our information technology office through a very rough time with positive measurable results - both from the perspective of the business and that of those working within his organization. I look forward to many more successful endeavors with Ryan at the wheel.
Source: LinkedIn Jay Bradley May 17, 2013I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Bennett on a challenging project. Ryan is a strong technical manager with a highly developed customer/user-centric solutions focus, excellent organizational and communications skills. Ryan is a high-integrity leader whom I would welcome the opportunity to work with again in the future.
Source: LinkedIn Kevin George May 17, 2013Besides handling all of our web development needs proficiently, Ryan is the first IT/Web person I have worked with who can explain technical projects in terms that a non-technical person can understand. He takes the time to understand the business requirements and other departmental needs, making sure all parties are on the same page before he manages a development project. I highly recommend Ryan.
Source: LinkedIn Deb (Creedon) Zelnio May 17, 2013My experience working with Ryan has been nothing but positive. Always willing to step up and take ownership, Ryan sees his teams' projects to the end. He places an emphasis on quality and performance while keeping an eye on costs. I would recommend Ryan to any firm in search of a high-integrity leader with strong technical skills.
Source: LinkedIn Chris Collier May 17, 2013Ryan is an excellent Director of Development. He offers both strong technical skills as well as solid business skills and is a pleasure to work with.
Source: LinkedIn Karyn Mullins May 17, 2013I interfaced with Ryan on web projects for StatCom while he was at Jackson Healthcare (parent company). I found Ryan to be very detail oriented, completed projects on time and checked in with you to be sure he was consistently on target. He is a great team player and can juggle many deliverables at once. If Ryan says it will get done, it does!!
Source: LinkedIn Patricia Pouncey May 17, 2013Ryan is an extremely hard-working, dedicated worker that constantly goes above and beyond on projects. He is quick to solve problems and is a free-style manager that let's his direct reports do their job instead of micro-managing their every move.
I would highly recommend Ryan as an employee and a manager.
Source: LinkedIn Thomas Starr May 17, 2013I just recently wrapped up a project that was similar to what it sounds like you are looking for: a web application that adapts the user experience to the type of device being used, desktop or mobile.
Part of the answer depends on if you envision your application being distributed to mobile platforms only on the web or if you plan on releasing mobile applications available in the App Store or Google Play.
For an application that is web-only, the key phrase is "responsive design." An ideal front-end architecture would be AngularJS + Bootstrap.
For an application that may also be deployed as a mobile app sold or offered in an app store, the AngularJS + Bootstrap combination mentioned above would work well with PhoneGap as a container. I prefer Sencha Touch for HTML5-based mobile apps as the user experience is excellent, with the downside that you have to write separate applications for mobile and web as it is not a responsive design framework.
For the back end, it's really up to what you are comfortable with, how conservative or bleeding edge you want to be, and how you see the application growing over time. The important part is that the back end is completely uncoupled from the UI, providing data via services that the UI can consume as opposed to generating HTML.
Feel free to contact me if I can help more!
