Zach Caldwell
Full-Stack Software Engineer and Tech Consultant
About Me
User-oriented technical consultant with 8+ years of software projects ready to demonstrate, as well as 7+ years of professional software engineering and technical architecture / operations experience. I'm strongest with Node.js, React, AWS cloud technologies, vanilla HTML5 / CSS3 / JS (ES6+), C++, DynamoDB, MongoDB, and MySQL (MariaDB), but am comfortable working with a wide variety of languages, environments, cloud platforms, and relational / document / key-value databases.
I've worked with small startups, large companies, and non-profit organizations of all sizes, both as an employee and as a consultant. See my LinkedIn profile for more details. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Technology from Brigham Young University - Idaho, covering mainly Computer Science and Computer Engineering topics such as web & embedded development, advanced algorithms and object-oriented architecture, and the design of CPUs, operating systems, and computer networks.
I'm available for consulting and/or hire in the U.S. without requiring sponsorship; visit my Upwork page or contact me below! I prefer to work fully remotely, but am also open to hybrid work schedules in Northern Utah.
