Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZack Scholl is a Principal Analytics Business Intelligence Engineer and founder with 22 years of experience bridging scientific research, embedded hardware, and full-stack software. He holds a PhD in computational biology and brings deep expertise in single-molecule biophysics, instrumentation, and synchronized acquisition software, paired with production engineering in Go, Python, and JS. Zack has shipped dozens of open-source projects used worldwide—including high-precision indoor positioning (schollz/find3) and music-focused systems like norns—and runs a profitable hardware synth business selling to 60+ countries. At Providence he translates complex clinical and operational needs into scalable analytics, dashboards, and governed data architectures, while his entrepreneurial work spans PCB design, firmware, and hands-on manufacturing. He’s equally at home prototyping zero-to-one products for medtech and designing musical ecosystems, and he tinkers with electronic music, drone radio stations, and ceramics in his spare time. This blend of rigorous academic training, practical product delivery, and creative instrument building makes him a versatile engineer who seeks niche problems with tangible impact.
