Experience details
Father and grandfather farmed 10 acres of land when I was growing up. I've personally built an indoor hydroponic system in an apartment and used several other proprietary hydroponic systems. I am also a software and platform engineer, so I bring some technical knowledge to the automation, sensors, monitoring, and robotics area of the interior design.
