Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Hudson is a founder and systems-minded technologist with 12 years of experience building privacy-focused web applications and leading engineering teams, who now applies that same practical rigor to running a veganic farm and animal sanctuary in rural South Carolina. He blends hands-on full-stack development, SaaS administration, and digital marketing with farm operations like seed production, soil health, and direct-to-consumer sales, making him equally at home in code reviews or crate packing at market. As founder of Merxcore LLC and Wild Pines Farm/Sanctuary, he designs resilient systems—technical and agricultural—that prioritize stewardship, usability, and ethical practice. His background in people operations and community-focused content creation informs an approachable leadership style and effective volunteer coordination. A privacy-first developer who prefers simple, respectful tools, he documents the intersection of sustainable land management and compassionate advocacy through engaging educational content.
