Fred McDavid

Hi, I’m Fred McDavid. I’m a backend software engineer, maker, and taker-on of Projects. Professionally, I design fast systems that are stable and well-tested. Lately, I use AI agents to build such things much more quickly than I used to.

Outside of work, I build fences, rehab old farm structures back into usable shape, and keep the trails on our farm clear enough for our boarders to ride on. When I can, I make time to catch a nearby concert or brew a batch of beer.

Nerd-maxxing takes up a large chunk of my day, but I make sure a healthy chunk of my life happens away from the keyboard. My wife and I run a small horse-boarding business on our farm, Hoppin’ Fox Equestrian, and we operate a handful of rental properties through Landmetrics, our residential real estate business.
