About

My name is Vance Lucas, and I ♥ the web

I am a web, mobile & API developer, entreprenuer, and all-around awesome guy.

BudgetSheet is my primary project right now – it’s a Google Sheets add-on that connects your bank with Google Sheets to automatically import transactions.

I am a web and mobile developer living in Oklahoma City. I created my first website at the age of 14 and have been focused on web development ever since. I code primarily using JavaScript/Node.js, and have a lot of experience with PHP, and Ruby as well. I have released many popular open-source projects.

I am heavily involved in the community, and help to run the OKC.js user group and put on the ThunderPlains developer conference. I am an international conference speaker, and have a lot of experience all over the place in code – serverless, backend, frontend, mobile, APIs, testing, deployment, and more.

Fun facts:

  1. I went skydiving with a group of peers from high school immediately after graduation.
  2. The game of StarCraft motivated me to build websites, and the complex trigger system in its map editor StarEdit is what got me interested in deeper programming concepts.
  3. I accidentally created a critical 0-day remote script execution vulnerability in a PHP news script I wrote and distributed in 2003-2006
