BS Information Systems, systems development. Production Java for a manufacturer — order systems against a real factory floor.
Eight seasons running a working berry operation. Irrigation, frost protection, spray programmes, crew, and a harvest that does not wait.
Parametric CAD and production 3D printing. Geometry written as code, so a revision costs an afternoon rather than a week.
Sensors, embedded firmware, RTK GNSS, LoRa telemetry, and a small fleet of machines running agents unattended.

Independent work, remote or on-site in northwest Wisconsin.
Independent work, in various states of finished.
