Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Smith is a pragmatic full stack developer with 11 years of experience building secure, auditable web and infrastructure systems for clinical and enterprise environments. He blends Python/Django and React front-ends with deep systems and network administration skills—AWS, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, monitoring stacks, and central logging—to deliver compliant, production-ready solutions (including Part 11–validated clinical systems). At UC San Diego he led LIMS development, migrated and hardened infrastructure, deployed IDS/IPS tooling, and acted as security officer for regulated trials, showing a rare mix of software engineering and operational security ownership. He’s an advocate for breaking silos and strong documentation, has a history in high-throughput video encoding automation, and contributes code on GitHub supporting his department’s tooling. Based in San Diego, Zach pairs hands-on implementation with policy-aware engineering to turn complex, regulated requirements into reliable, auditable systems.
