Summary
Zac Collier is a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of experience building pragmatic, scalable, and observable systems across startups and mid-size companies from Austin, Texas. He’s driven technical leadership for product-focused initiatives—designing versioned product catalogs and APIs used in clinical and fintech contexts, and delivering high-impact features like click-to-activate offers for millions of users. Comfortable across stacks (Elixir/Phoenix, TypeScript/Node, Java/Spring, Kubernetes, AWS and Terraform), Zac repeatedly bridges product goals and operational reliability while leading cross-team delivery. Notably, he has taken mission-critical EMR and public API work from prototype to production, and he pairs hands-on implementation with clear API documentation and monitoring practices. Outside of product work he’s contributed to developer education as an instructor and curriculum advisor, reflecting a practical, collaborative approach to engineering and mentorship.
