Zachary Maness

Software Developer • Data Analyst • Operations Problem-Solver
Memphis, Tennessee area

I build practical software where data, automation, accessibility, and real-world operations meet. My background spans software projects, transportation/logistics, manufacturing, inventory systems, and customer-facing work, which gives me a useful perspective: I like building tools that solve problems people actually have.

I earned my bachelor's degree from Southern New Hampshire University and completed the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. I'm currently focused on software development, data/BI, operations technology, and remote technical roles where I can combine hands-on operational experience with programming and analysis.

What I'm Building Now

A local-first career workflow application that discovers and verifies job postings, ranks opportunities against candidate evidence, tracks applications, analyzes ATS fit, and generates evidence-based tailored resumes. The system combines job discovery, structured evidence, resume versioning, and an external-feedback loop for improving match quality.

Core ideas: Python, SQLite, OpenAI API/web search, document generation, ATS analysis, workflow automation, evidence traceability.

An accessibility-focused Android prototype inspired by my blind father and grandmother. FamiliarVoice detects supported incoming messages and turns them into sender-specific familiar-voice audio that can play through the phone's active media output, including smart glasses.

Built with: Kotlin, Android, FastAPI, Python, ElevenLabs, hosted backend services, physical Android devices, and Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Source: intentionally private while the project continues development.

I independently designed and built a Python/PostgreSQL inventory system while working as a CNC laser operator at Environmental Pneumatics. I used it in my actual laser workflow to track sheet-metal inventory by type, gauge, size, location, and quantity, with barcode, export, backup, and validation tooling.

My software-business and product-development umbrella for turning useful applications into sustainable products and, over time, a broader technology business.

Combined and cleaned market data, used PostgreSQL/SQL to calculate five-year performance across 341 U.S.-listed ETFs, and built an interactive Tableau dashboard for exploring the results.

A reusable Excel model that turns mileage and paid-hour inputs into daily and weekly gross-pay estimates—an example of translating firsthand operational knowledge into a practical tool.

Technologies

Software: Python, Kotlin, Android, FastAPI, Git/GitHub
Data: SQL, PostgreSQL, pandas, MongoDB, PyMongo
Analytics & BI: Excel, Google Sheets, Tableau, Power BI, Dash, Plotly
Workflows: data validation, reporting, API integration, automation, operational problem solving

What I Bring

My path into technology wasn't limited to a classroom. I've spent years working in logistics, transportation, manufacturing, inventory, and customer-facing environments while building software around real problems. That experience shaped how I approach development: understand the workflow, find the friction, build something useful, test it in the real world, and keep improving it.

I'm especially interested in:

  • Software and Android development
  • Data and business intelligence
  • Operations and supply-chain technology
  • Accessibility technology
  • Automation and practical AI applications
  • Gaming and interactive software

Thanks for taking a look at what I'm building.
