Zack Kitzmiller

Technical Architect/Software Engineer

About Me

I build and design high quality, high traffic, fault tolerant, distributed software systems, especially in the payments space.


I'm also interested in hardware hacking, iOS, kubernetes/cloud infrastructure, datastores, and building unnecessary things.


I like building things in Elixir, Python, Go, and Swift, but I'm comfortable in a bunch of other languages. Let me know if I can help you build or prototype something.
