Hi there! I’m Zach, a U.S. Navy veteran currently enjoying a break before joining the civilian workforce in March, 2026.

I grew up in New England, where my family’s submarine service inspired my path to the Navy and instilled a passion for taking on complex and challenging problems.

I studied nuclear and mechanical engineering at the U.S. Naval Academy and later Operations Research at the Naval Postgraduate School, where I developed a strong foundation in quantitative analysis, optimization, and data-driven problem solving.

Alongside my Navy career, I’ve continued to expand my technical background. I've built and published mobile apps and used coding and modeling to optimize networks, resources, and operations.

Outside of my professional life, I’m passionate about spearfishing, mountaineering, motorcycles, and tackling new challenges.
