About Me

cody in the greenhouse

I'm a freelance Web Developer, building web applications that automate routine tasks and drive efficiency, giving users more time to focus on strategic, high-level challenges. Whether it's integrating IoT devices for real-time data insights or creating custom software to tackle complex business problems, I'm ready to help you find the right solution.

I leverage a decade of experience in smart agriculture and habitat restoration, where I engineered data-driven systems for industry leaders. From designing complex irrigation systems, breeding programs, and scientific studies, to leading high-impact teams and consulting internationally, this background sharpened my ability to design efficient, scalable software solutions. I apply the same problem-solving mindset to software engineering as I did in optimizing real-world systems.

If you're looking for a web developer with aptitude, who is thorough and a joy to work with, let's connect to explore how I can help drive your next project forward.
