Zack Tanner has been developing websites since he was eleven years old. Inspired by websites that fascinated him as a kid, he taught himself the basics by modifying source code. Eight years later, Zack is developing websites for a living while attending college. He is proficient in PHP, jQuery, and SQL, and the management of MySQL databases. His passion is back-end code, but he also enjoys styling a website and watching it come to life.

In high school, Zack volunteered to develop the school's internal attendance, grading, and student sign-out system after watching a professional company fail to satisfy the school's complicated needs. This gesture resulted in him being written up in the school magazine, wherein the school's CTO quoted him as being "the next Mark Zuckerberg."

Zack continues to pursue his passion for website development, and is majoring in Computer Science at Bard College.
