Hey! My name is Ryan Fleck, and I am a passionate computer programmer, software architect, ETL wizard, data engineer, reader, writer, a Christian, and a proud IBMer.
Presently, I work as a Senior Data Engineer at IBM Consulting, specializing in complex data ingestion and transformation within Snowflake, Azure, and on-premises environments. As a consultant, I lead and collaborate with many skilled developers, managers, and IT architects across clients in the manufacturing, healthcare, and oil & gas industries. My expertise includes programming in multiple languages and paradigms, Snowflake, Azure, big data, legacy application enhancements, and complex technical problem-solving.

I received a BASc in Computer Engineering from the University of Ottawa after graduating in April 2021 on the Dean’s Honor List and with a Merit Scholarship. During my studies, I completed internships at IBM and MNP LLP, spent a year working at the San-Fran based startup Wise Assistant, and contributed to Xalgorithms Foundation free software projects. On campus, I was the IEEE Webmaster and the UOE Racing Supermileage (electric car) team’s lead embedded programmer writing BLDC motor controller code for the TI MSP430.
When I started working at IBM as an Associate Technical Consultant, I was primarily working on Enterprise Asset Management projects utilizing Maximo EAM. During my first years at IBM, I was recognized as outstanding for my level of experience, earning the country-wide Rockstar Consultant award in 2022. Since then, I have continued to grow and lead, and begun spearheading technical teams as we tackle ETL in some of the most technically constrained environments known to IBM.
This minimalist website stores my long-form narrative-driven writing, records of experiments, musings, tutorials, hackathons, and articles on technology I find neat. I also store a topical collection of personal notes at manuals.ryanfleck.ca , my other less formal referential website, which has cool pages on:
- Clojure: manuals.ryanfleck.ca/clj/
- Elixir: manuals.ryanfleck.ca/ex
- Many other tools
In my free time, I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities and handicrafts. The books I read are typically categorized as theology, history, and classic literature. I love to repair and run old and new machines, from thinkpads to typewriters.
Like any good engineer, I have no shortage of personal projects.
Nice to meet you! Please check out my writing. To get in touch, email me at [email protected], connect on LinkedIn , or add me on Github .
Happy hacking!
– Ryan
