Hi, I’m Zach

I’m a data scientist and economist working on and thinking about a wide variety of problems. My interests include growth marketing, sports analytics, programmatically generated content, and anything else smart using computers.

I write about technology, economics, productivity, and my personal experiences with various tools and methods. This site is where I share both longer-form articles and shorter notes on topics that interest me.
