About
Ordinary Experts was founded in 2015 by Dylan Vaughn. We’re a distributed team of senior engineers based in the United States, focused on three practices:
- Production cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure
- AI implementations: features inside client applications, workflow automation, and the infrastructure to run models reliably
- Custom application development accelerated by modern AI coding frameworks
We work as embedded engineers, not consultants delivering slide decks. We write code, ship infrastructure, and stay long enough that your team can run what we built without us.
We’ve been an AWS Consulting Partner since the early days of the practice. For company updates, follow us on LinkedIn.
