Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

In A Nutshell

I design software that helps agricultural businesses improve operations, from managing crops and livestock to optimizing supply chains and equipment.

I work with farmers, agribusinesses, and others to understand their tech needs and develop apps that make their work easier.

I write and update code, testing software to ensure it runs smoothly and meets evolving agricultural needs.
