Who am I?

My name is Zack Newman; and I live in Englewood, Colorado with my wife and two (dog) children. While I am a software engineer by trade, I identify more as a mathematician. I am entirely self-taught when it comes to programming languages and computers as those are topics I started learning between my previous two jobs. I didn’t think I’d discover anything I’d love close to that of math, but I am fortunate that I did. Of course when I think about it, it is not at all surprising how much I enjoy programming as there are a lot of similarities with the grammars of many programming languages and the many “languages” of math (e.g., algebraic topology) not to mention my fondness for linguistics as a whole. For more information, you can view my résumé.

Signal

Due to its simplicity, privacy, and security, I strongly prefer to communicate via Signal. In an effort to avoid bots spamming me, I will use mathematical facts to describe the numbers represented by the subsequences of digits. If you are not familiar with them, you can always rely on your favorite search engine to aid you.
