Ryan Bibby
Long-Term Partner Candidate · Husband (Aspiring)
- Location: Marietta, GA
- Age: 25
- Height: 5'7"
- Ham radio callsign: KN4RQL
- Faith: Catholic
- Available immediately
- ryan@bibby.dev
Objective
To secure a mutually fulfilling, lifelong partnership with a kind, curious, slightly-too-competitive-at-board-games individual who shares the faith. Seeking growth opportunities, shared takeout, and a co-signer on increasingly elaborate weekend road trips. Open to relocation of the heart. Not open to relocation of the antennas.
Executive Summary
Reliable, low-drama candidate with six years of independent adult life, a verified history of remembering birthdays, and at least two functioning love languages. Strengths include showing up on time, genuine interest in your day, and strong opinions about road-trip snacks. Comfortable working solo but built for a committed two-person team. Currently exceeding every personal KPI except "found a partner" — hence this listing.
Core Competencies
Additional skills: long road trips, boating, disappearing into a good book, holding a radio contact with a stranger three time zones away, and pretending I haven't seen the show you want to watch together.
Professional Experience (entry-level applicant)
Full disclosure up top: this is a first role — there are no previous relationships on file. What follows is everything that prepared me for the job anyway.
Independent Adult · Real Life, Inc.
2019 – Present- Six years self-sufficient: bills paid, fridge stocked, life generally upright.
- Filed taxes on time every single year. No notes from the IRS. None.

- Cleans the apartment before guests arrive, not during.
Amateur Radio Operator · KN4RQL
Licensed · Active- Chose a hobby that is, at its core, listening carefully and replying clearly.

Always – On- Maintains 100% uptime on things people quietly depend on.
- Debugs calmly at 1 a.m. without blaming the nearest person.
- Yes — will absolutely fix your Wi-Fi, and not be smug about it.
Education & Certifications

- Licensed: FCC Amateur Radio operator (KN4RQL).
- Practicing: Roman Catholic — Sunday Mass is a fixed point; road trips get routed past a parish.
- Certified: Will pull over and ask for directions (eventually).
- Self-taught: Can fold a fitted sheet. Has receipts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a joke?
Yes. Also no. It's a joke that would be delighted to be taken seriously by the right person.
What does "becoming a Bibby" entail?
Optional surname adoption, a standing invitation to Mass, co-ownership of an alarming number of radios, and an elite collection of dad jokes — effective long before any actual dad-hood.
Have you really never dated anyone?
Correct — you'd be the first. I file that under "feature," not "bug": nothing here is secondhand, and the waiting was on purpose.
What's the catch?
I leave cabinet doors open. I will talk to you about Linux servers unprompted. That's roughly the extent of it.
Are you actually on the dating apps?
I built a website instead. Make of that what you will.
What if I'm not looking for anything serious?
Respect. We're hiring for a different role. Best of luck out there.
References
Glowing references available upon request — including my mother, a few close friends, and at least two people legally unrelated to me. They have been briefed and are, frankly, eager.
