About Me
Hey, I'm Zach. I've been making games at big studios for about ten years, and you can find me in the credits for Minecraft, Halo, and other cool stuff. I also make indie games on the side in both 2D and 3D, and I've been doing that for about twenty years. I've mentored junior developers at work, led small teams on game projects, and even taught my two young kids how to make their own games. I also program for Windows, the web, VR, and sometimes mobile.Making a small video game is just about the most fun one can have with a computer (but I might be a little biased). Seeing everything come together (art, music, controls, gameplay) and knowing you're the one who made it happen is an absolute rush. I love seeing that amazement and pride on students' faces when everything clicks for the first time. I work with all ages and skills levels, from helping younger kids with their first Scratch project and walking them through the basics of how the computer thinks, all the way up to college grads learning Unreal Blueprints and C++.

Mathematics, statistics and programming courses from primary to higher education.Mathematics is fascinating because it finds applications in all areas of human activity as well as in the observation and study of natural phenomena. As Galileo said, the book of natural laws is written in mathematical language. And yet, too often, they are taught in an uninviting way with rote recitation instead of seeking to awaken the (natural) curiosity of the learner. All humans, in their early childhood, have gone through the "why" phase. This phase proves the natural curiosity and the taste for seeking to understand how the world around us works. That's what math is all about: curiosity and the taste for seeking to understand how systems work. Whether they are numerical, geometric, or information systems like the ones we use every day. Every prompt or query you type into your favorite language model (whether American, Chinese, or European) is automatically transformed into a mathematical statistical calculation to be processed by artificial intelligence. In short, math is everywhere, so we might as well rediscover our natural curiosity to better understand it and its usefulness.

Data Recovery Help & File Format Reverse EngineeringYou found an old file—something important, maybe even sentimental—but your computer just won’t open it. Or maybe you’re dealing with a custom software system that uses a weird, proprietary format. What now?
I specialize in rescuing, translating, and reverse-engineering data formats that most people don’t even recognize. Whether it’s a corrupted calendar file from a PDA or a bizarre export from a dead program, I approach it like a digital archaeologist.
It’s not magic—it’s patience, logic, and deep technical skill. If something should work but doesn’t, let me figure out why.

Private coding / programming lessons with pythonPython is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.
This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.
As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.
I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.
Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.
