Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Rankin is a founder and seasoned software engineer with over two decades of experience building systems from embedded devices to GPU-native pipelines, now leading Eigen Hitchens LLC to prioritize ownership, provability, and deterministic infrastructure. He blends Rust, WASM, and F# to enforce correctness across AI-first engineering workflows that emphasize verification over blind token-spending. Former CTO and VP of Engineering at Hearo Technologies, he has a track record of shipping reliable enterprise and real-time systems and bringing engineering rigor to product teams. A Marine Corps veteran with a BS in Computer Science from Missouri State, he combines operational discipline with hands-on technical leadership and answers his own email—signal he still prefers direct accountability. An uncommon focus of his work is building software that quantifies when other software is merely guessing, turning probabilistic systems into measurable, auditable outcomes.
