Hello!
👋 Hey, I'm Zach. I'm a Senior Software Engineer at The Knot, a husband and father, and a competitive axe thrower.
Work
💻 I have over a decade of experience building and maintaining software in a variety of languages and tech stacks. Most of my professional work has been on internal systems that cannot be shared or backend systems that aren't visible. Because of this, I don't have a portfolio of work to show.
☀️ You can check out my personal projects to see what I've built outside of work.
Play
🪓 I 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.
Writing
💭 I like to use Haiku poems to introduce topics that I find interesting.
🧸 I've made up a few original bedtime stories for my kids.
💬 I write blog posts very infrequently. Still, I hope you find some value in the topics below.
