AI and automation for agtech and operations.

I design the system and set the rules, then run the build with AI agents doing much of the implementation. I check the result before it ships. This site is one of those builds.

In brief

I came to AI from the field side: a B.S. in Agricultural Systems Technology, an MBA, and now an A.A.S. in Artificial Intelligence at DMACC, finishing May 2027.

What I like is the gap between a tool that exists and a system that runs on its own. Most of what is on this site lives in that gap: a media server that maintains itself, a local AI lab on my own GPU, an art pipeline that prints, a display controller for four screens, and a scheduled agent that handles my mail.

Every one of those was designed by me and largely implemented by AI agents working inside rules I wrote. I say that plainly because directing that work well is the skill I am selling.
