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.

2020 has been a weird year in several ways, but I’ve had some time to do a ton of thinking about projects and fields that interest me (with this blog only being the start). I’ll be writing about these projects shortly, but suffice to say there’s been a lot going on.

Below is a curated list of my top posts:

• I talk about my frustration with the lack of improvements to software tools in a better text editor.

• I reviewed Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. It’s a terrific book, and it’s shaped how I think about social media.

• My first experience with Micromobility blew me away.

• I spent a ton of time talking about economics in the real world during my Master’s. See my thoughts on Apple and Price Discrimination and raising the minimum wage.

• As someone who probably spends too much time on the Kindle, I talk about what flaws stick out.
