About Me

Software Developer Focused on Solving Problems Efficiently

I’m Ryan Kutella from Elk Grove Village, IL, and a senior studying Computer Science at the University of Alabama.

I’ve been programming for 7+ years since my freshman year of high school, and I enjoy turning complex ideas into real-world software solutions.

At Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, I helped build and maintain internal applications that improved plant operations. I worked with C#, Microsoft SQL Server, Azure Functions, and Power BI to automate workflows, improve data visibility, and support faster, data-driven decisions.

At Abbott Rubber Co., I contributed to designing, building, and optimizing customer-facing web solutions, including a new eCommerce site. I also supported day-to-day IT operations, including troubleshooting software issues, resolving hardware problems, and assisting employees with technical support needs across teams.

Outside of work, I like building personal projects that help simplify and organize my own life. I also enjoy spending time playing sports, weight-lifting, and exploring new topics across tech and beyond.
