About me

Hi! I’m Zach, a student at Northeastern University studying Computer Science and Mathematics. I am incoming at Jane Street in NYC, NY. I am a passionate musician, learner, and computerist.

I grew up in a small, rural town in central Massachusetts, and enjoyed riding bicycles, playing trumpet, and solving puzzles. Ask me about Rubik’s cubes!
