About me

Portrait of Ryan Moelter smiling and holding a camera against a textured gray background

By day, I’m an indie developer creating Heypenny. I’m enthusiastic about great UX and animations, with diverse interests in education, productivity tooling, biomedical technology, multiplatform development, and more.

Outside normal work, I take portraits of people and families. I love helping people document important moments and capture lasting memories.

Molten Thoughts is my space to learn in the open. Learning is a core part of my identity, so I built this website and blog to get more comfortable putting my ideas out there before they’ve solidified and without my perfectionism getting in the way. I also hope what I write can help others learn interesting things and make better stuff!
