Ryan Shiel

Ryan built his first custom game console at the age of 15. In trademark humility, he'll assure you it was "No big deal." This was one of many projects spurned on by an affinity for computer systems and technology; an affinity which would take him from his literal "baby's first computer" toy all the way to a computer science undergrad program, which he would then promptly drop out of. All the better, since the subsequent chance to fill the void of meaning and passion that college had rent open within him led Ryan more or less straight into Dr. Gabe's fledgeling party of adventurers, Six Wing Studios. He and Gabe figured they would work well together when Gabe saw Ryan's "Hollow Knight" T-shirt upon their first meeting, and initiated a lengthy mutual geek-out session over the game.

Ryan brings his technological prowess and coding experience to the table, and stitches together his talented teammates' ideas and efforts into the interactive form for which they were destined. He is powered by wine and coffee and has achieved 100% completion in every Metroid game aside from that one.
