Hi, I'm Zach.
I am a student at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics.
I started college on the pre-med track, drawn to science and the challenge of understanding how things work at a deep level.
Over time, I realized that what excited me most was not just medicine but problem-solving more broadly, especially when it came to data, technology, and building things from scratch.
That shift led me into research, programming, and full-stack projects where I could apply the same curiosity and discipline I once brought to biology and chemistry.
I believe technology should be a tool for empowerment, not a barrier.
My dream is to create software that lets anyone, regardless of their background or technical experience, build anything they can imagine.
A few things keeping me busy on campus
