I build software for niches most software teams don't want to work in. A decade of product and platform engineering, most of it spent at the intersection of backend systems and real operator workflows. FSMA204Hub is the first product I've shipped under Darza.
I write about FSMA 204 because I'm the one building the product — not because I'm a food-safety credentialed expert. What you'll find here are field notes from building a traceability tool with real small-producer customers in the loop. When I'm wrong about the regulation, buyers tell me and I update the product and the posts.
If you're a small food producer with a retailer questionnaire sitting in your inbox and you want a second pair of eyes before you answer it, email me at [email protected].
