I’m Zac, a software engineer, and this is my blog where I write about technology, life, and whatever I find interesting.

IHP

At the beginning of 2021 I started contributing to the Haskell web framework IHP. I’ve worked mainly on contributing features upstream that I built for my own app written in IHP. Currently working on improving the already great developer experience by expanding the IHP web IDE!

I’m a Platnium Partner in the digitally induced Partner Program under the name Zallocate Software. If you’re looking to build your business with IHP and are looking for help, please reach out. Depending on availability, I’d be happy to help develop the project or connect you with other talented IHP developers. I am also available for general Haskell consulting.

Attics

In October 2018 I released my first iOS app Attics to the App Store. It lets you stream thousands of live Grateful Dead concerts right from your phone. If you’re a Deadhead, you’ll love it. I built it for myself and never expected it to get any users, but with thousands of downloads, hundreds daily active users, and a (nearly) solid five star rating, I think I can say it’s been a success!
