I'm Zach Huang, a Software Engineer who loves being lazy. Ever since I began working as a Software Engineer, I've enjoyed building systems and infrastructure that users can trust and rely on, and that my fellow engineers and I don't have to spend a lot of time maintaining. I'm currently a Fullstack Software Engineer at Merge, but I've previously worked at Airtable as part of the Data Infra team. Although I'm not currently looking for new full-time opportunities, feel free to reach out!


When I'm not at my computer, I'm playing volleyball, rock climbing, or trying to bash through my Steam backlog (endless). I'm someone who loves picking up hobbies and learning new things -- in or out of tech.
