I'm Zackary — a software engineer based in Seattle who finds the same thrill in debugging a distributed system as standing on a ridgeline at dawn. With a background spanning nuclear engineering, machine learning, and full-stack development, I'm drawn to hard problems with real-world impact. When I'm not writing code, you'll find me chasing powder on Mount Baker, pulling espresso shots dialed to the gram, or logging miles on the trails of the Pacific Northwest.
From designing nuclear propulsion systems for missions to Europa, to building enterprise applications serving 17,000+ users at Boeing — I bring the same methodical precision to every problem. I think in systems, build in layers, and ship with confidence.
The mountains of the Pacific Northwest are my second office. Whether it's a dawn summit push on Rainier, a solo backpacking trip through the Enchantments, or an early morning run along Green Lake — movement in nature is where I find clarity and energy.
Like any good route, the path wasn't always obvious — but each step built on the last. From nuclear physics to machine learning to full-stack engineering, every pivot opened a new vista.
The best engineers I know have lives beyond the terminal. Here's where I recharge, find perspective, and remember why the climb matters.
From Rainier to the Enchantments — finding solitude above the tree line.
Chasing powder days at Baker, Stevens, and beyond.
Applying the scientific method to the perfect 18g-in, 36g-out shot.
Morning miles around Green Lake and evening sets at the net.
