Summary
Zachary Silver is a driven computer science and mathematics double-major at Vanderbilt University with eight years of hands-on software experience spanning embedded C++, full-stack web, and mobile app development. He has shipped production software used in healthcare (a pediatric vision app with 6,200 downloads and a 5.0 rating) and contributed to high-stakes systems testing at trading and industrial firms through C++ simulation and validation tools. Comfortable across the stack, he built secure admin dashboards with MERN technologies, authored research on major cybersecurity breaches, and boosted QA and fault-detection for latency-sensitive infrastructure. Academically rigorous (STEM GPA 4.0) and deeply curious, he pairs proof-based math coursework with compiler, OS, and machine learning projects. Based in Palo Alto, he balances technical work with interests in baseball, amateur astronomy, history, and even a recent Jeopardy! finalist selection—evidence of wide-ranging curiosity and quick recall.
