From Pitcher to Programmer: Hudson Fuller's Journey pt. 1

Ag Geek Speak

Hudson Fuller, GK Technology's newest full-time employee and computer science graduate, shares his journey from baseball player to agricultural data specialist working on the ADAPT standard integration.
• Hudson's connection to GK began through family ties and company retreats before pursuing internships during college
• Completed a computer science degree at Dakota State University while playing college baseball
• Created an AI baseball pitch predictor that achieved 80% accuracy in predicting pitch outcomes
• Currently coaches high school baseball and plays for the local amateur team
• Working on implementing the ADAPT standard to unify agricultural data formats across different systems in ADMS
• ADAPT aims to standardize how agricultural data is stored and transferred between different controllers and software
• The standardization is similar to how hydraulic hookups were standardized to allow equipment compatibility
• Different file types (shapefiles, GeoJSON, ISO XML) serve different purposes in storing agricultural data
• Modern controllers can process thousands of data points instantly to vary application rates accurately
