About
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.
My name is Zachary, and I'm a software engineer who builds performant and scalable web apps. I've worked with a number of different languages and frameworks up-and-down the technology stack: from Angular & NgRx on the front-end; to Rust & Warp, Java & Spring-Boot, C# & .NET, and JavaScript/TypeScript & Express on the back-end.
I even administer my own Linux and BSD servers to host my personal projects (including this very website)!
In my spare time — when not wrangling my kids — I enjoy working on a variety of projects that satisfy my curiosity with the overall technology landscape. I've built a multitude of CLI programs in Rust to better manage my D&D campaigns. I've also built (but not yet released) an Android app that helps users better manage their personal budget.
And that only scratches the surface!
If any of what I've written is interesting enought to warrant a one-on-one conversation, feel free to reach out to me in the Contact section below. I would love to chat with you further to see if my skillset meets your needs!
Cheers!
