Zachary Humes

Lead Software Engineer at HyperSphere

About

I am a software engineer working primarily in Rust across distributed systems, embedded systems, applied ML, and cybersecurity. Most of my recent work has been in small teams building production software under technical, product, and compliance constraints. I have led engineering from architecture and implementation through delivery.
