I build with AI
and think like
a trader.
I've made decisions with real money on the line for 20+ years: poker, markets, and now AI systems. I write about where AI meets markets and real estate.
My grandparents taught me markets at 13. I played poker professionally from 2004 to 2014, and was an NFA-registered Associated Person from 2018 to 2021.
Each one taught the same lesson: price the risk before you act, size so you survive being wrong, and keep an honest record so you can tell skill from luck.
Now I build AI systems with that same discipline, and write about where AI meets markets and real estate.
One thread: decisions under uncertainty.
Poker, markets, and AI systems look like different fields. They reward the same habits.

AI builds & consulting
Every build starts with four questions: what it produces, what it takes to maintain, how you'll know when it fails, and what it costs against the alternative.
- AI systems
- Automations
- Internal tools
- Analytics
Trading process coaching
Coaching on the process side of trading: the habits that decide whether you last.
- Risk and position sizing
- Journaling and review
- Building a repeatable system
Education only. I don't give personalized investment advice or manage money.
Real estate
Mainly commercial and investment deals, but I work on residential and all deal types, including creative-finance structures.

What people say.
"Ryan has the kind of mental discipline most people never develop — not just in business, but in how he trains, thinks, and lives. He doesn't cut corners. He commits, studies, executes. That's rare."
"Ryan brings a unique mix of technical skill, creative strategy, and leadership. He's not just an idea guy — he builds. Whether it's AI, automation, or growth systems, he turns vision into something real and revenue-generating."
"In all my years in the markets, I've rarely seen someone pick up institutional structure as fast as Ryan. He asks the right questions and applies what he learns. He has a winner's mindset — and I've been around enough winners to know one."
