Ran Chen

Founder & AI Engineer · EA · CFP®

I founded OpenExamPrep to make high-quality exam preparation accessible without the hundreds-of-dollars price tag. I combine more than 20 years of coding experience with firsthand experience preparing for professional licensing and certification exams.

My exam experience includes the Life Insurance license, Enrolled Agent exam, SIE, Series 6, Series 63, Series 65, and CFP® exam. At OpenExamPrep, I lead AI-assisted content workflows and the systems used to review materials against current exam outlines and primary sources where available.
