@zachrubin-rattet
Full‑Stack Developer and Technical Lead building scalable web and AR experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-taught full‑stack developer and technical lead with decades of experience building bespoke web and webAR products, from WordPress and LAMP stacks to React, Vue, TypeScript and 8thWall. I have led teams, mentored junior and mid‑level engineers, set technical standards, and delivered high‑traffic museum and nonprofit digital experiences.
My work blends front‑end craftsmanship, backend systems, and DevOps: implementing CI/CD and QA automation, creating custom plugins and CMS integrations, and architecting features that scale to tens or hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors. I communicate clearly, learn quickly, and thrive both independently and collaboratively to turn product vision into polished, user‑focused software.
