Top SchoolSpencer Hachmeister is a Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, scalable systems and a lifelong curiosity about technology that began when he built his first computer at age nine. Currently leading software efforts at AeroFarms, he combines hands-on DevOps, IoT, and backend engineering to productionize automation for controlled-environment agriculture. He’s the creator of TechnoCore, a Docker-based IoT stack that integrates 14 open-source tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Home Assistant, ESPHome, PostgreSQL, Vault, etc.) to monitor and automate aeroponic farms and make operations accessible to non-experts. Past roles span OpenShift/Kubernetes deployments, automation with Ansible, and modernizing legacy stacks into containerized architectures. Based in Fort Collins, Spencer blends systems engineering with practical experimentation in plant growth and isolated grow environments, offering both operational rigor and product-minded prototyping. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who turns interdisciplinary research into usable, installer-friendly systems.
