Zak was born with a keyboard in hand and was learning his first programming language by thirteen. Nearly
entirely self taught, Zak challenged his programming courses through both highschool and college while
working in the industry to gain professional experience. He is very passionate about technology and as a
lifelong learner it has opened the door to many other hobbies like robotics, space and physics. Some of his
personal projects include a full sized arcade machine, home automation and a power wall for a home solar
