Terry Ryan, Adobe Systems Inc

I'm a Worldwide Developer Evangelist for Adobe. My job basically entails me traveling the world and talking about the developer tools and technologies that Adobe has to offer or that we support.

I'm also the author of target="_blank">Driving Technical Change. It's about convinving reluctant co-workers to adopt new tools and techniques. To find out more, see about my Book.

I went to University of Pennsylvania, and received a Bachelors of Art in Psychology. While I was in school, I started working in various Psychiatric clinical practices. Gradually I shifted from psychological work to computing work. By the time I got out of school, my desire to do psychology was gone, and there were tons of tech jobs available.

I started out of school working at the Wharton School of Business. I moved from tech support to server admin to system programmer to developer. After 10 years there, I had done just about every technical job there is to do, and decided programming was where I belonged.
