Hi, I'm Zack! I'm passionate about the software-hardware interaction that makes products feel like... finished products. I created this site to show off some of my personal projects and introduce myself to people who might be interested in working together.

Sites to learn more about me
My blogs to read about my personal and professional life
I find writing about my experiences in both my personal and professional life helps me better reflect on what I have actually got out of experiences. I have alot of interests in both and this is also how I keep organized on what I've done. These are more raw than a resume and show more of a journey than a bullet pointed list.
Featured projects
Some of my personal projects I've been working on.
An interactive flight tracking site that visualizes live ADS-B data from a local software-defined radio receiver ran out of my house.
This is a UI-heavy project that does the basic functions of an image and document editor with a focus on simplicity after frusteration with the bloat of existing products.
