Hi, I'm Zach ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm an art historian-and-erstwhile-WordPress-developer-turned-engineer who loves lower-level, infrastructure-y projects, crunching data, and anything involving bit manipulation. If there's one thing my former life as an academic shares with my current one, it's a love of building complicated and carefully structured things from first principles: I am happiest when I'm descending through layers of abstraction and ecstatic when I have reached bedrock and my spade is turned.

I'm currently finishing up my batch at the Recurse Center, a self-directed coding retreat, where I've been focusing on infrastructure and networking projects in Python and C and generally pairing and collaborating as much as possible.

  • ๐Ÿ”ญ Currently working on: zcc, a C compiler front-end
  • ๐ŸŒฑ Currently learning: C, networking fundamentals, Go
  • ๐Ÿง Languages I'm excited to learn next: Rust, Elixir, Clojure
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Projects I'm excited to tackle next: building a text editor in C, building an interpreter, Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, Gossip Glomers, Cryptopals, Protohackers
