“Our intelligence is what makes us human, and AI is an extension of that quality.”

Yann LeCun
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software Developer

In A Nutshell

I create AI software that uses data from farm sensors to detect diseases early, monitor soil health, predict the weather, and spot pests.

I help farmers and others in agriculture learn how to use these smart tools and programs.

I build AI tools that help with planting, harvesting, weeding, and pest control on farms.

Problem Solving

 Coding is basically writing a list of instructions for a computer to follow. When things don’t work, I have to work through the instruction list line by line to solve the problem. 

Independence

While I do work with my customers to understand their needs, most of my actual work is done by myself behind a computer. This is a good job if you like to work independently behind a desk.

Creativity & Innovation

The agriculture industry is always changing and improving. I use software to come up with new ideas that help the industry grow and keep innovating.
