Hello! Zach here.
I run a game development studio where I have worked as a contractor for various studios and businesses over the last 13 years. With over a decade of professional experience in Unreal Engine, I’ve also made many contributions to its source code.
Educating others is my passion—I thrive on helping people get unstuck both technically and mentally, bringing their creative work to life. My goal is to make students self-sufficient by ensuring they understand concepts deeply. Every student is unique, so I tailor my approach to their individual backgrounds, learning styles, and paces.
I hold a BSE in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Math. I’m proficient in many programming languages, from assembly to LUA, though I spend most of my time in C++. My lifelong hobbies include programming, music, photography, and videography.
I produce my own music and also compose music for video games and film projects using Ableton Live. My photography spans professionally lit animal portraits to astrophotography to photogrammetry, primarily using Lightroom and Photoshop. Photography has greatly enhanced my ability to light environments in video games! I also capture GoPro, drone, and traditional video footage for travel documentaries and music videos.
