Zak brings to the table not only an uncanny intelligence, but also the keen social skills needed to leverage that intelligence to the advantage of everyone lucky enough to work with him or function as his student. He was regularly the highest link in the chain when the rest of us were stumped by some bug, and he always delivered solutions with a teaching mindset. I personally witnessed him going above and beyond the call of duty when it came to mentoring students on more times than I can account for, and his ability and energy to do this remained unwavering day after day after day. I highly recommend Zak to anybody that values strong team players that selflessly focus on the technical improvement of the team as a whole.

      Building various full stack software solutions for clients. Most recently built an automated bi-directional chatbot system for micro businesses (plumbers, hair dressers, personal trainers, etc.), fully self serve. Bi-directional in that the microbusiness customers can talk to the bot to query the microbusiness (for appointments, opening times, what kind of product do they sell, etc.) just as you would expect from a traditional bot but also the microbusiness owner can talk with the bot to train it in real time as their business changes ("I'm away next week, I won't be able to take appointments"). Technologies: OpenAI, GPT-3, Python, PyTorch, HuggingFace, Prompt Engineering, Vercel, Next.js, Svelte, Serverless, PlanetScale, Auth0, EC2, Blockchain, GraphQL, Google Colab, Jupyter, Docker, Git, Linear (similar to JIRA)

      Founded and led a team of 4 at a UC Berkeley funded startup for massive scale Entity-Component-System cloud Operating System for enterprise simulation and knowledge management. An OS for creating digital mirror objects of everything in an enterprise: everything from IoT objects, to oil rigs, to PDFs. Capable of interaction with existing UI paradigms (web/mobile) and next gen AR/VR 3D. Built with the principles of next gen massive online game platforms (like Star Citizen) but used for simluating enterprise objects instead of game objects. Similar to Palantir's Foundry platform which we didn't know at the time (their "ontology" analogy is their version of our "teleology" analogy! ha!) Inspired by Minority Report's interface that facilitates near instant compilation, visualization, and understanding of massive amounts of disparate information. Technologies: AWS: Lambda, Semantic Search (Elastic+LLMs), Neptune Graph DB, DynamoDB, PyTorch, Vercel, React, Next.js, Unity, Three.js, MQTT, IoT, Web Socket, Git, Kubernetes, Docker, REST

      Started this small software company when I was around 13/14. I built gaming software and plugins for paid clients, personal use, and open source for the general community. Sold the assets and cross-play server hosting technology to a server hosting company in Brazil that was big into this space. Fun stuff.
