Hi, I'm Zach 👋

Software engineer with ~7 years of experience. The last 5+ have been at CoverMyMeds (a McKesson company), building healthcare SaaS — specialty drug enrollment, prior authorization workflows, and pharmacy integrations that help patients access the medications they need. Before that, ~2 years at Nationwide modernizing Personal Auto APIs.

Healthcare SaaS, end-to-end ownership, and a serious interest in how AI changes the way teams build.

Tech I work with

Daily: Ruby on Rails · PostgreSQL · GraphQL
Also comfortable with: Elixir/Phoenix · Docker · Kubernetes · Terraform · Azure · React
Earlier in my career: Java · Angular

What I'm building

A career-management web app — Rails, PostgreSQL, and a React frontend. Currently building out the core, with LLM-assisted features up next.

How I work

  • End-to-end product ownership, from data model to UI
  • I lean into AI-assisted development (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) and think seriously about how engineering teams adopt these tools well
  • BSBA background, self-driven on CS fundamentals

Open to new opportunities

I'm actively looking for my next role — ideally fully remote, mission-driven, and Rails-first, though I'm flexible on stack for the right team. If something here resonates, reach out.
