Greetings.

My name is Ryan, and I've been actively moderating Stack Overflow since January 2015.  I actively participate on meta, and I'm interested in keeping Stack Overflow awesome.  As my many MSO answers show, I've become very familiar with how Stack Overflow works, and I eagerly try to help others get the most out of the site.

My moderation style focuses around communication.  I believe that, more often than not, users are trying to do the right thing, but that they often can't express what they're trying to accomplish.   Proper edits and timely comments can get posts back on track and resolve conflicts before they get out of hand.  Likewise, as an RO, I would first try to diffuse situations by making sure that everyone is on the same page.  I am not shy in editing posts to make them more understandable, especially to fix grammar.
