Zach Keener

Full Stack Web Developer

I build inclusive, online experiences for all users.

About

In 2016, I established a retail arbitrage business for retro video games. The venture's success led me to self-teach Python, Django, PyQt, and SQLite, quickly creating an essential business tool. Through continuous learning, I gained proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Express, and PostgreSQL, which allowed migration to a PERN stack.

Simultaneously, I pioneered automation at a leading soil company. Starting with a PERN stack, we embraced technologies like Next.js, Vercel, Tailwind, AWS, and MongoDB. Resulting in a ERP system built on a MERN stack using Next.js and deployed with Vercel. This system automated a wide range of processes - from purchase orders and manufacturing builds to customer service and shipping orders - leading to significant annual savings.

Today, my focus is to help businesses unlock their true potential through the power of code and automation. I spend my free time coding, working on freelance projects, and mentoring others in the wonderful world of web development.

When I'm not at a computer I'm usually with my beautiful wife and two kids, hanging out, playing Nintendo. ❤️
