About
Hi, I'm Zach Keatings - a full-stack developer who builds tools, games, and scalable systems. I started coding in the mid-2000s with just HTML and CSS, and have since evolved into a developer who's just as comfortable scripting a DevOps pipeline as architecting a multiplayer game.
With a strong grasp of both frontend and backend technologies, I've worked across web, mobile, and game development. My toolkit includes Python for automation, JavaScript and PHP for dynamic web systems, and Java/Kotlin for native Android apps. I also leverage Docker, Azure, and AWS to ship modern, scalable apps — often self-hosted, always purpose-driven.
My Approach
I believe in creating solutions that are not only functional but also intuitive and user-focused. My meticulous attention to detail ensures every project is polished and aligned with user needs. Staying at the forefront of technology, I continuously learn and adapt to evolving tools and methodologies, striving to build software that pushes boundaries and makes a meaningful impact.
I focus on crafting software that's clean, intuitive, and purpose-built. Every project is designed with care, backed by a deep understanding of user experience, scalable architecture, and modern best practices.
Whether I'm building a real-time game engine, refining a mobile UI, or automating deployment in a containerized stack - I aim to deliver thoughtful, high-impact solutions that go beyond the expected.
