About Me

I'm Zachary, a software/webdev student at AB Tech pursuing an AAS in Software Web Development with a 4.0 GPA. I'm transitioning into software development with a focus on full-stack applications and systems programming.

I build web applications primarily with the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node) and TypeScript. I'm currently working on StageThree, a 3D stage plotting application for event planners that uses Three.js for visualization.

My development environment: Arch Linux running Hyprland window manager, Neovim as my primary editor. I prefer understanding systems from first principles rather than relying on abstractions.

Recent work includes BlazerAI (a RAG chatbot trained on AB-techs website and student handbook) submitted for a heroku student challenge, publishing gshell (a C++ system monitor) to the Arch User Repository, and building Gnosis (an Electron-based SSH/Docker management tool).
