Duffy is the creator and lead developer of GrowGrid, an open‑source seed‑to‑sale farm management app built for small farmers, market gardeners, and homesteaders. A lifelong tech tinkerer and human‑rights‑minded socialist, he cares as much about who controls the tools as how elegant the code is. When he’s not iterating on React components or farm planner features, he’s usually learning another “root language” (from Latin to low‑level systems) to better understand how things really work. Duffy lives in Bremerton, Washington with his partner Ernie and their gray tabby, Cheech, and spends a lot of time thinking about how accessible, community‑owned software can make small‑scale farming more resilient.
