Zack R. Davis

I'm a software engineer with lots of experience building fast, fun, accessible user-interfaces. I've worked with data-intensive enterprise projects, startups, museums and theater companies.

Outside of work, I'm an artist and a gardener. I live in Portland, Oregon.

I'd love to hear from you:
