Twenty-five years of shipping.

Designed the abstraction layer that synchronizes global sales hierarchies and territories across Salesforce and related enterprise systems.

One model, reused across regions that each structure their sales organizations differently — instead of a fresh integration per market.

Delivered a global seed recommendation platform in collaboration with distributed international teams, carrying the GHX Fields model into markets including Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Ukraine, and Hungary — a few hundred advisors serving roughly 10,000 growers.

The program aligned technical and business stakeholders across the US, India, Brazil, Egypt, and Europe while evolving recommendation capabilities, portfolio tooling, and integration points needed for global commercial operations.

As the platform matured, I prioritized reusable platform abstractions to reduce duplication across adjacent product lines and improve long-horizon maintainability.

Bootstrapped Cropwise Planting, then handed it off — which was the plan from day one.

I led the early phase: architecture, delivery cadence, and operating practices. Once the product stood on its own, I executed the transition so Syngenta’s internal engineers owned the roadmap and production operations outright.

Built a Pennsylvania grant-funded iOS and Android platform for identifying and reporting aquatic invasive species.

Mobile apps plus a WordPress backend with custom content and reporting workflows. It worked well enough that other states adopted it.

Ran a discovery engagement to map automation opportunities across a tangle of legacy and SaaS systems.

Delivered a phased roadmap that put the high-value, low-risk integrations first — so the client could start getting returns before committing to the harder work.

BouMatic builds dairy-farm equipment. Over two years we modernized their herd-management software into an open, pluggable platform.

Barns have terrible connectivity, so the architecture was offline-first: operations kept running through dropouts and synced reliably with the cloud when the connection came back.

We added plugin modules for third-party integrations and a hardware-abstraction layer spanning desktop systems, IoT endpoints, and CANBUS-linked milking equipment — so new hardware didn’t mean another rewrite.

Built a React Native app that put field analytics in agronomists’ hands.

The data already existed but was trapped in legacy PHP-generated pages. We wrapped it in a secure .NET API and built the mobile visualization experience on top.

Led delivery of the iOS tablet and phone apps that modernized SST Software’s farm management and scouting workflows.

The interesting parts were under the hood: custom Objective-C++ geospatial math libraries built on Boost and proj4, incremental offline sync for fieldwork without coverage, and satellite imagery overlays.

Built Onsite, an agricultural operations platform for coordinating work orders, equipment data, and geospatial information from the field.

From Skyward’s earliest years: iOS and Android apps, secure Bluetooth integrations with field hardware, GPS boundary tooling, and the server APIs and desktop WPF workflows behind them.

Ported popular iOS applications to Windows Phone under contract for Ubermind.

The craft was in adapting interaction patterns and performance behavior to a very different runtime while keeping each product recognizably itself.

Built the Mac installation and configuration software for Cisco-Linksys routers — the out-of-the-box setup experience a non-technical customer walks through.

Delivered software for Microsoft under contract through Prophetic Sky — returning to my former employer as a vendor rather than an employee.

Shipped in about three months, on purpose.

After Spires’ two-year cycle, Knights vs Aliens was the counter-experiment: scope tightly, ship fast. The engineering still had to respect early iPhone hardware — rendering complexity, threading, and memory pressure all traded against stable frame rates.

It turned a profit. The lesson that stuck from the self-funded Prophetic Sky years: technical ambition has to match the money and time you actually have.

A large-scale strategy game built over roughly two years. Several thousand people paid for it.

Early iPhone hardware made performance the constant constraint: rendering paths, thread scheduling, and memory layout all had to be tuned to keep gameplay responsive.

It was self-funded, which kept every scope decision honest. The release taught me real lessons about distribution economics, piracy, and how long a consumer product can safely stay in development — lessons that shaped the much faster Knights vs Aliens that followed.

A strategy game from the earliest days of the iOS App Store. Pocket Gamer Magazine gave it a Silver Award.

First-generation iPhone hardware forced aggressive choices about rendering and memory while keeping the gameplay intact — all with a team you could count on one hand.

Shipped core features in Microsoft Visio: the layer system and z-order controls, indexing, file-format extensions, and theming.

I owned features end to end — estimation, cross-team coordination, QA collaboration, and release planning — inside one of the most disciplined release processes in the industry at the time. That discipline shaped how I’ve run delivery ever since.

Worked on Blink, the certification platform that validated digital cameras and camcorders for Windows compatibility.

I built automated test harnesses for capture, streaming, and interoperability scenarios — the messy edges where real devices misbehave — and contributed to an internal test framework capable of media editing.
