My name is Vance Lucas, and I ♥ the web
I am a web, mobile & API developer, entrepreneur, 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 make a living as an AI Consultant and AI Developer Team Coach with my business Infinite Rectangles, LLC, based in Oklahoma City. I created my first website at the age of 13 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.
Community is very important to me. I previously helped to run the OKC.js user group and currently am the main organizer of 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. Lately, that experience has been paying dividends with AI accelerating all of my efforts. 🚀
Fun facts:
- I went skydiving with a group of peers from high school immediately after graduation.
- 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.
- I accidentally created a critical 0-day remote script execution vulnerability in a PHP news script I wrote and distributed in 2003-2006
