Farmlink

100% automatic worksite tracking for agricultural contractors. Born in my father's fields.

An embedded PCB I designed myself, a real-time GPS dashboard, automated invoicing. The product I wish my dad had ten years ago. Live at farmlink.fr.

§ 03Origins · where I come from
I've been taking things apart since before I could put them back together. That's still roughly the ratio.
LOIRE VALLEY · 2012

Scratch. A laptop in a farmhouse. The first time I made a sprite move and understood I could tell a machine what to do.

THE FAMILY BUSINESS

Growing up at ETA Vappereau, the family agricultural contracting company my father runs. Tractors as office furniture.

TAKING THINGS APART

Every device in the house was a candidate for disassembly. Some made it back together.

BASKETBALL & ATHLETICS

A decade of team sport and track. The part of me that still likes early mornings.

GUITAR

Mostly bad. Mostly fine.

L'ATELIER · EPITA

The maker space next to my school. Soldering stations, 3D printers, oscilloscopes. Where I designed the PCB that ended up in real tractors.

AGOPENGPS · SUMMER 2022

I built a tractor auto-guidance system in C# on top of an open-source project, hooked into the Centipede RTK network. I made the tractor drive itself across a field. Still one of the best days of my life.
