Projects

This is a list to give you an idea of the projects that I have worked on and ones that I am currently involved in the maintenance of them.

Farm Records

Farm Records Cost accounting tool for grain farmers.

This is the main project that I am working on right now. I've been using and refining it for several years. It helps with crop planning, both with the cost and the quantities of products that will be used. It is set up primarily for crop share rental agreements. Knowing your cost of production and breakeven points on your grain production is an important part of a successful marketing plan.

Profit Per Acre

Profit Per Acre This is a breakeven analysis tool for farmers. It allows them to enter in the cost of the inputs, their rental agreements, the expected production, and the app shows them the cost of production and what their breakeven is for the amount they farm and the way they farm.

This app is a web app, which means that it runs completely in the user's browser. Vue with Typescript is used in the frontend development. Numerous automated tests are used to make sure that the calculation is returning the correct results. The frontend is hosted on Netlify. The backend is written in Golang. The data is stored in a Postgres database. Linode is used to host the backend.

Hay Broker

I've also worked with a hay broker with their in-house software package. They have an Access database that a previous developer wrote for them. They were needing some bugs fixed and some features added to the Access database.

They wanted a better way to schedule the custom haying jobs that they do also. I developed a web app for this use case. A Vue app hosted on Netlify is used for the frontend. The backend is using Ruby on Rails with Postgres as the database.

Volunteer Scheduling for a Non-Profit

I have a long-running project helping out a non-profit with their volunteer scheduling. The volunteers turn in their names and the coordinator schedules where they are going and what time period fits in with their schedule as well as the schedule of the location where they are volunteering.

Spreadsheets and Databases

There are numerous other smaller projects involving spreadsheets, usually Excel, and databases. I have experience with migrating data from Access to Postgres.
