Hi, I'm Zachary Espiritu.

I'm a high school developer looking to create.

I'm currently attending high school at Regis High School in New York City. I recently won the Congressional App Challenge and the 10Under20: Young Innovators To Watch awards for Math Battle, an iOS application I created and released under my company, Tango. Right now, I'm interning with Negotiatus as a Ruby on Rails developer.

I'm also very familiar with Swift and HTML / CSS and I'm comfortable working with Java and Objective-C. I also tend to geek out about math and physics a lot, so I've written a couple things using LaTeX as well. I put a large emphasis of my work on design and improving the user experience in addition to writing clean, readable code.
