Default Sword and Shield Ranger viable for DoA/HM

Is it possible to make one?

Yes. See this thread (and potentially others in that forum). Start from the end and work backwards. Some builds will be for Warrior primaries but they should convert to Ranger primary without too much trouble. I know EFGJack cleared it with a Warrior primary (I think with Hundred Blades) without consumables, so if you're happy to use those they should make up for anything you're losing out on.

Is there a reason you wanted to do this?

Also, a lot of DoA is technique rather than just builds. Even with builds capable of completing the content you may not be able to do it.

Ranger is my fave class and everyone seems to just want necros, mesmers, rits or paragons in their teams. Also I really like Sword/Shield and although I have a Warrior I find the Ranger had more utility and fits my playstyle more.

I've played since 06 and suprisingly I have never really touched any of the end game content, I want to bring my Ranger through it all

I'm not sure how you're defining "end game content", but you've never done any I wouldn't recommend starting with DoA, and certainly not in HM. It's disproportionally difficult compared to both the rest of the game and it's NM version. If you're used to regular HM stuff such as vanquishes, I'd look at doing FoW HM and the two factions missions before DoA, and when you do do DoA, make sure you do it in NM first. End game areas generally have certain things to be aware of (newb traps, if you like), and facing them for the first time in HM is asking to be slaughtered.

End Game for me is DoA/UW either with Heros or with a Team. Definitely only NM for now
