About
the Farmer
For twenty years I've built digital products, through an Inc 5000 consultancy and engineering leadership at multiple companies. I've returned to working directly with clients and building products I believe in.
I ship product MVPs, rescue stalled software, do founding-CTO work for businesses that don't have a technical co-founder, and advise on the decisions that matter most. My deepest context is in agriculture, energy, and construction. Beyond client work I operate a handful of my own software products today: tools and games that solve real problems I've run into along the way.
I also run the YouTube channel @WilderAdventures, documenting outdoor adventures and the van life.
What I
offer
Four shapes of work, one philosophy: I own the outcome. If yours doesn't fit cleanly into one of these, get in touch. We'll figure out the right structure together.
-
Product MVPs
A bet to test, an impossible-feeling timeline. I ship MVPs in 30 to 90 days. Period.
02.a -
Modernizations & rescues
Legacy systems that hold you back. I find what matters, cut what doesn't, and ship the change that unblocks you.
02.b -
Founding CTO implementation
A software business with no technical co-founder. I do the founding-CTO work (architecture, first product, the team that takes it from there), then transition out cleanly.
02.c -
Strategic technical advisory
A decision your business depends on, no senior outside perspective on hand. Build vs. buy, vendor reads, technical due diligence. Shape and timeline fit the decision.
02.d
Recent
client work
Selected engagements from the last decade: agriculture and energy operations, construction estimating, internal platforms.
Drone thermography for bridge inspections
Automating bridge deck assessment from thermal imagery instead of jackhammers.
Interactive trail map for a 40-mile greenway
A civic web map that makes 40 miles of trail legible to riders and walkers.
Climate & environmental data platform
A data product that turns sensor noise into a sustainability-planning tool.
Products
I operate
Products from my personal portfolio where I serve as founder and operator.
