About Me
Hi, I'm Zach and I'm an aspiring Project Manager with a passion for Data Analytics and all things technology!
I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Project Management from Liberty University, and I'm a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).
Over the course of my career I've worked on many different projects, ranging from software implementations, data analytics, process improvements, digital & in-person events, and many more!
I'm experienced with agile and hybrid project management frameworks and data analysis - particularly with SQL, Power BI, and Python. Recently I've been learning frontend web development through personal projects with ReactJS and Typescript.
In my spare time, I enjoy many hobbies: In the winter time, I like to play ice hockey and snowboard the slopes of PA. Throughout the year you can find me building household furniture and working on friends'/family's cars!
