Work Background
Ballard Creek PasturesBusiness Owner
Jun. 2016For the past 6 years, I have built my own poultry operation, building one farm from the ground up and bringing to life three others. I utilized my own skills in full stack development to build my own farm monitoring system, utilizing Bootstrap, JS, Python, and MySQL to remotely monitor my farms. For my Ballard Creek Pastures farm, I served as my own contractor, sourcing, building, and installing equipment in a 12,500 hen facility in four months to be fully operational. After that, I bought 3 other farms that had fallen into disrepair, acquired production contracts, and requisitioned and installed the industrial equipment, and ran them them to meet my customers needs and requirements.
