Hey, I'm Zach
Welcome to my little corner of the internet :)
I'm a software engineer at Amazon working on externalizing our middle-mile transportation network.
I graduated from Iowa State University in 2023 with a degree in software engineering.
I'm interested in a variety of topics, including compilers, high-performance computing, and machine learning. I try to learn new things whenever possible.
If there's anything you should know about me, it's that I like freezer-burnt ice cream and that my favorite color is brown.
