Consulting
Ranger Ventures LLC.
Not all those who wander are lost. But Rangers move with intent.
Ranger is my consulting and ventures practice: a small number of engagements for teams that already know AI matters and need working systems, not evangelism. Everything I recommend is something I've built, tested, or killed with my own hands first.
AI Systems, End to End
Custom tools, agents, and middleware — architecture through deployed code. Provider-abstracted LLM layers with multi-model failover, integrations that plug the gaps between the systems your team has been working around for months.
Build-vs-Buy Advisory
I've made this call at board level in both directions — led vendor partnerships when building was wrong, built when the math flipped. If you're deciding what's real, what's theater, and what to do first, that's the engagement.
Prototype to Decision
The fastest way to settle a roadmap argument is a working version. I prototype the thing that unblocks the decision — then hand you an honest read on what it takes to run it for real.
If you're still deciding whether AI is worth investing in, have that conversation internally first. If you've had it and you're ready to build, tell me what's blocked.
