The builder
behind the work.
I'm Zach Clark — a self-taught full-stack developer based in West Hartford, CT. I didn't go to school for this. I learned by building things, breaking them, and figuring out why.
During the day I work at Geek Squad, diagnosing and solving real hardware and software problems for all kinds of people. In the evenings I build web apps and tools that solve specific problems.
My focus right now is on Next.js, Expo, TypeScript and React — the tools I use to build web and mobile experiences that are fast, maintainable, and actually useful. I care about practical code: shipped features over perfect abstractions, working software over polished plans.
This portfolio is a living record of that work — what I've built, how I built it, and what I learned. It'll grow as I ship more.
