I’m JT Perry. I spent twenty-odd years as a software engineer in Seattle, designing things you’ve used and don’t remember the names of. In 2023 my wife and I bought five acres in the foothills of Mt. Rainier, near a small town called Buckley. The plan was simpler living. The reality is roughly the same number of YAML files, just with chickens around them.

The Nutty Rooster is the place where the two halves of that life meet. It’s where I post the schematics, code, 3D-print files, and field notes from the projects I tinker on between feedings. Everything is open source. Most of it is wrong on the first try. Some of it has been useful to other people, which still surprises me.
