About Ryan Mulligan

Ryan Mulligan's History

I was born on 2 October 1985 Common Era in Illinois, USA.

In October 2005, I founded CampusAssassins.com with David Grayson. The site debuted with Campus Honors Program Fall 2005, a game for our school honors program. We later renamed the assassins game host to Sassins.com.

In December 2007, I earned a Bachelors of Science in Enterprise Systems Engineering with Highest Honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, along with a Minor in Mathematics. I also studied the field of Operations Research, an engineer's approach to mathematical optimization. I was drawn to this field because of the potential I saw for increases in efficiency.

2008

On 9 March 2008, I made a Smash Bros. Brawl Screenshot Gallery called BrawlSnapshots.com in 2 days before the release of Smash Brothers Brawl, and the website became quite popular boasting over 1000 visitors a day. On 12 May 2008, I made an email reminder service called ReplyLater.com which increases the efficiency of inbox management.

On 9 June 2008, David and I traveled across the country from Urbana, Illinois to Las Vegas, Nevada. David had decided to go work for a small robotics and electronics part manufacturer and retailer called Pololu Robotics and Electronics. His brother Paul and sister in law Fang already worked there.

In October 2008, I decided to go work at Pololu and got to Las Vegas on 9 November 2008, starting work the next day.

I started to get involved with Toastmasters more (I had started to attend meeting in Champaign Illinois in August 2008). Pololu grew a lot. I started rock climbing and playing soccer a lot.

2010

I became the Vice President of Education of Powerhouse Pros Toastmasters. Pololu grew a lot more. I got variously injured in my ankles and fingers and stopped rock climbing and playing soccer.

I started going to the gym every morning.
