I am a technical jack-of-all trades with an interest in using data to understand the world around us.
You can see some of my musings, personal projects, and accomplishments here. Here's hoping you come away a little more enlightened than I found you!
I'm Zach and I am your one-stop shop for figuring out how to leverage data to make hard choices. I'm a trained data scientist, project manager, archaeologist, and classicist whose unique background
puts me in prime position to help YOU help yourself. Data is a hot buzzword, but raw data is useless unless it's filtered, categorized, and leveraged to craft a compelling narrative. I'm ane expert at extracing usefull information from the barest of bones, and helping people interpret what they have.
My cross-displinary approach combines the forensic sciences involved in archaeology, the rigorous research methodologies of classical studies, a deep understanding data architecture and pipelines, and a razor sharp focus on results I have developed working in the world of Start-Ups to deliver well-sourced, actionable intelligence. I am quite literally always thinking about data and how to best process it.
I've put together a sample of some of my work (professional and personal) for viewing on this website. If you see anything you like, have a question, or would like to get coffee I'd love to chat!
