About
The short version.
I run Ranger Ventures LLC. I build AI-powered tools and ship production code — middleware, integrations, agents, and the connective tissue between LLMs and the systems teams actually use.
My path was non-linear. I started in mortgage lending, taught myself to code, spent nearly eight years at DivvyHQ growing from developer to Director of Product, then moved into AI-focused product work. In 2025 I went independent because I was done talking about AI strategy and ready to build it.
Now I write code every day — Claude Code and Cursor are my primary tools. I publish open-source packages, ship client systems, and build my own infrastructure. Based in Kansas City, working remote.
How I Work
Architecture first, then fast iteration. I scope deeply before writing a line of code, then ship in tight cycles with real feedback. I'd rather solve one problem completely than spread across five half-finished features. I challenge assumptions — mine and yours. If the AI approach is wrong for the problem, I'll say so.
