Zach is an Engineer at flox and a member of the Nix Documentation Team.
In a previous life Zach built lasers and performed quantum mechanics simulations, but now he builds software with Rust and Nix. Zach has always had a knack for teaching, receiving multiple teaching awards during his PhD. This knack stems from an empathy for the struggles of new users of any technology. Enabling engineers and tinkerers alike to get things done or scratch their own itch has always been a joy for Zach.
Zach has spoken at multiple conferences and meetups, including NixCon 2023 and RustConf 2023. He also organizes the Boulder Rust Meetup.
