Meet Ryan Eddie

I operate ryaneddie.co.uk from Peterhead, Aberdeenshire as a UK sole proprietor. Every engagement is delivered directly by me — from research and UX architecture to engineering, automation, and enablement — ensuring continuity and accountable decision-making throughout the project.

With seven years of production experience, I blend full-stack PHP and JavaScript engineering with product strategy, data storytelling, and operational consulting. I partner with founders, operators, and marketing leads to launch new platforms, modernise legacy systems, and embed workflows that scale securely.
