👋 Hi, I'm Zach

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 10+ years of experience building resilient, user-centered systems — from ESG SaaS platforms to regulatory compliance software to AV/VR control systems.

I care deeply about technical clarity, environmental impact, and making long-lived systems that don't just work, but work well. I'm especially drawn to projects in climate tech or public infrastructure — where engineering can serve both people and planet.

💼 What I've Worked On

  • 🌱 Sustainability SaaS at Optera: Frontend features, CI/CD pipelines, and resilient patterns for emissions tracking tools.
  • 🐾 Regulatory compliance at GlobalVetLINK: Veterinary health software used by clinics across the U.S.
  • 🎛️ AV/VR control systems at Mechdyne: Interactive UIs and telepresence control systems for enterprise and academia.
  • 🧑‍🔧 IT Infrastructure at Iowa State University: Lab systems support and faculty-facing tech migration projects.

🔧 Skills & Practices

Java • TypeScript • React • Next.js • Grails • Docker • PostgreSQL
Clean architecture • CI/CD pipelines • Accessibility • System resilience • Mentorship • Legacy modernization
OS: Windows, Linux, macOS

🌱 Interests & Values

  • Low-carbon software systems and climate-aware engineering
  • Digital infrastructure for the public good
  • Participatory design, inclusive tech, and community repair culture
  • Urban cycling, DIY sustainability, and mutual aid tech

🔍 Currently

  • 🔭 Looking for my next mission-aligned engineering role (climate tech, civic tech, or sustainability-focused tools)
  • 👯 Open to collaborating on open source tools that help people understand or reduce environmental impact
  • ⚡ Fun fact: My daily driver is a 2000 Honda Insight. 57.8 MPG lifetime — and still going strong.
