Zachary Dayon Christensen

I'm a full-stack developer, primarily working with React (front-end) and Python (back-end). I derive a lot of my joy creating applications that are innovative and functional, trying to streamline the user experience as much as possible. While I love the current tech stack I use so frequently, the landscape of software development is constantly changing; thankfully, I'm someone who finds the challenge of learning new technologies quite exciting.

In addition to software development, I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, focusing on Machine Learning. Ever since my senior project building a journaling bot for my cross-country team, I've been fascinated by the potential of machine learning and its uses. I've been fortunate enough to participate in building part of the Data Science curriculum at Washington University in St. Louis, and am continuously following the field and all of the new developments.

When I'm not coding, you can find usually find me either strategizing over board games or researching new recipes to put to the test in the kitchen. Both outlets give me a chance to relax and unwind, though still giving me the opportunity to push both my logical and creative sides. Board games offer a place to push my strategic ability and problem-solving skills; cooking gives me a creative outlet to try new things (and host dinner parties for friends!).

As I continue my journey of learning and growth, I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, collaborating on exciting projects, and making a positive impact in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
