ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Zach, a software engineer specializing in low-level systems and embedded programming. With a degree from Oregon State University and hands-on experience at Rohde & Schwarz, I enjoy building efficient, reliable tools and working close to the hardware level.
I have experience across a broad range of technologies including Python, TypeScript, C++, Go, and Assembly. I'm proficient with frameworks and tools like Node.js, FastAPI, TensorFlow, Docker, Git, and Jenkins. I'm comfortable working with Linux/Unix environments and developing both firmware and web applications.
I am actively seeking new opportunities where I can grow and learn. If you're looking for a motivated developer with a strong willingness to learn and contribute, feel free to reach out!
PROJECTS
A robotic monitoring system designed for nursing homes that detects falls and abnormal movements.
An image classification system using Python OpenCV with TensorFlow’s transfer learning to support real-time and batch image processing.
Implements blur, sharpen, and edge detection image filters in C++ using both scalar (naive loop-based) and SIMD optimized versions.
Simulates a simple RTOS in C++ with basic task scheduling, inter-task communication, hardware abstraction, and time-based control.
Personal website built with Next.js and TypeScript, showcasing projects and hosted on Vercel for fast, reliable deployment.
Designed and implemented a SystemVerilog based VGA driver to animate and control a sprite in real time on an FPGA.
Benchmarks algorithms with high-resolution timing, aiming to evaluate performance for various data sizes and algorithm types.
