I'm Zacory (Zac) Ruiz. Builder, operator, and systems architect.

My background blends military discipline (USMC), financial rigor (JPMorgan), and hands-on technical leadership (CTO at 2020 Builders). Today, I design and build high-leverage systems for founders and operators who need more than advice — they need working infrastructure.

I specialize in turning messy, fragmented operations into scalable, AI-ready platforms. That typically means full-stack product development, data pipelines, and automation layered on proven business frameworks like EOS®, StoryBrand, and Profit First.

At my core, I'm a fast-moving systems thinker. I spot patterns, architect solutions, and push ideas into reality.

What I Do

  • Software & Data Systems — Full-stack platforms, dashboards, ETL pipelines, and AI integrations. Python/Django is my home base, but modern LLMs make strong systems design (DDD, clean architecture, disciplined code) effectively stack-agnostic.
  • Operational Architecture — Helping teams establish clarity, cadence, and execution rhythm using EOS-style structure
  • Real Estate Technology — Analytics, reporting, and infrastructure for agents, investors, builders, and data-heavy real estate businesses

Brands I'm Building

  • Ruiz Report — Interactive, white-labeled real estate market reporting
  • Family Rhythm — A family operating system for intentional weekly planning and milestones
  • ReferralReceipt — Tamper-evident referral and lead-tracking software

How I Work

I combine strategic vision with hands-on execution. I'm equally comfortable designing product architecture, writing code, mapping ownership dashboards, or structuring growth systems.

My edge is seeing the full board, from codebase to cash flow, and building durable systems that scale with clarity and discipline.
