Hi, I’m Ridge, a software engineer with experience building production claims processing systems for the Department of Veterans Affairs. I like building innovative, open-source, continuous learning agentic systems. Among many other things. If you’d like, check out some of my photos to get to know me better. Thanks for stopping by!
