After 9.25 years of employment at IJWS, I am officially laid off. January 2, 2008 was my first day working as a contractor for IJWS as Ryco Technologies (aka Ryco Tech). In the first year not much will change other than me moving into a Toronto condo in 3-6 months, and working from home. In the mean time I will continue to strengthen my skills in all areas of Java development, and will begin work on my ISO 900003-2004 Quality Assurance plan. I want Ryco Technologies to be known for high quality software by following industry standard engineering processes. I have been studying these processes over the last year, and have also learned what not to do from experience.
Eventually I'll begin work on one of several ideas I have for products and services. These are long term goals and I need to do more research before I decide on any of them. If I end up needing work, there will always be recruiting companies in the GTA to help me find contract jobs.
What do you think of the logo? I've had several designed for me by different artists and this is the one I like the most.
Working from his home office in Toronto,
Ryan de Laplante can be found developing software in
Java by day, and obsessing with technology by night.
Ryan has been designing and writing software for
IJW since 1998 and is very passionate about his work.
