Hi, I’m Zach.

Husband & Father
Senior Software Engineer

Work

I have more than a decade of experience building and maintaining software in a variety of languages and technology stacks. I’m currently working at The Knot where I’m focused on our marketplace search platform.

Projects

Most of my work has either been on internal systems that cannot be shared or on back-end systems that aren’t visible. Because of this, I don’t have a pretty portfolio of real work to show. However, you can check out my personal projects to see what I’ve built outside of work.

Fun

I enjoy rock climbing - mostly indoors these days, though I have also led a handful of sport routes outside. My biggest accomplishment so far is a 400-foot multipitch route called Playin’ Hooky near Golden, Colorado.

I used to throw axes competitively in the IATF. In my first year in the sport, I qualified for and competed in the 2023 International Axe Throwing Championship. From more than 20,000 throwers worldwide, the top 256 were selected to compete in the event. I placed 97th overall, which is in the top half for the tournament and the top 0.5% globally.
