Ryan Waldon

Software Engineer

My fascination with software began with The Craft of Computing, an elective I stumbled into while studying finance at ANU.

I later joined Slik, a creative agency where I worked alongside a talented team of designers, writing software for brands including Qantas, Fairfax Media, and UFC.

In 2020, I left the agency to explore my own ideas, starting with Bag, a shopping cart for online stores. Since then, I’ve spent my time designing, building, and learning through a range of independent projects.

Recently, I’ve been working on Cables, a workout tracker for friends.

Over the years, I’ve become especially interested in interface design and in how seemingly small decisions shape the way people understand and interact with software.

One part of my role at Slik involved creating web-native animations for some of the Australian brands I grew up with. Below is a selection of that work.
