Ryan Cheley

I’m Ryan Cheley and I’ll be one of the navigators in this cohort. I’ve made a few contributions to Django over the years (one of which I spoke about at DjangoCon US last October). I’ve also contributed to other Open Source projects.

When I’m not writing code, or reading code I like watching Hockey (Go Coachella Valley Firebirds!) and trying my best to stay active.
