I am a Product Engineer who optimizes for velocity and utility. I sit at the intersection of high-stakes FinTech and boots-on-the-ground AgTech.
My Philosophy:
- In FinTech: I write the "glue" code that forces legacy banking infrastructure to behave like modern APIs.
- In AgTech: I realized farm software was overpriced bloatware, so I built a full-stack ERP (React/Supabase) to run my own regenerative farm on Maui.
I don't just write code; I ship systems that solve messy, real-world logistical problems.
Full-Stack Farm Management Platform
Existing farm management software is expensive and ignores the realities of regenerative agriculture. I built Happy Harvest to solve my own problem: tracking seed lots, USDA compliance, and harvest windows without drowning in spreadsheets.
The Engineering Challenge: Modeling the correlation between lunar phases (Native Hawaiian practice) and standard USDA crop data requires complex logic, not just CRUD.
The Stack:
- Frontend: React, TypeScript, Shadcn/UI (for accessibility and speed)
- Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL) for relational data integrity
- DevOps: Docker & GitHub Actions (I deploy on Fridays)
