About

I'm Zander Lewis — a 17-year-old software engineer based in Candler, NC (he/him). I work with crystal, rust, typescript, elixir, and linux, and I'm currently involved with Limelight Robotics.

I like building things that are fast, understandable, and actually shippable: robot control languages, save editors, package managers, and static site tooling like the site you're on now.
