Ryan Dury · Nelson, British Columbia
I build AI products, mapping tools, and automation.
Currently
Core engineer · travel AI
GuideGeek
A travel chatbot that helps you plan trips — live flight and hotel prices,
local tips and itineraries.
Live · maps & open data
BC Wildfire Map
NASA satellite hotspots, fire perimeters, evacuation orders, road closures and
air quality — a dozen government feeds stitched into one live map of the province.
Previously
Local businesses
I've built for a number of companies around here — booking software at Retreat Guru, peer-to-peer bookings for Kootenay Carshare, and other custom work for i9Design and Columbia Wireless.
Work
Available for contract work
AI assistants
Chatbots grounded in your own content and data — retrieval, tool use and
evaluation.
Automating the busywork
Reports that write themselves, quotes and invoices that don't need retyping.
If someone is copying data between two systems, that's a job for software.
Internal tools
The small web app that finally replaces the shared spreadsheet — bookings,
inventory, scheduling, job tracking.
Digests & alerts
Daily summaries and dashboards that surface what changed and what's worth your
attention.
Maps & spatial data
Government and open geodata, cleaned up and turned into something people can
read and act on.
Fixing what's already there
The half-finished build whose developer moved on, or the app nobody has touched
in three years. I'll pick it up, work out what's there, and get it moving again.
Got something that should be automated, or an AI project you're not sure about?
