Hello, I am Zach Inglis.
I am a Scottish graphic designer and programmer with over 10 years experience in the industry. I am versed in both design and development giving me a very well-rounded skill set that allows me to fully realise your idea and put it to life.
I love working with budding niche entrepreneurs with secured funding but I have worked with a wide spectrum of people and companies and helped them reach their goals.
Few of My Core Values
- Quality: I write code that is maintainable to make it easier to add and modify features.
- Communication: I always keep you in the loop of how things are going so you do not have to worry.
- Refactoring: I strongly believe in dedicating time to refactoring to keep the code-base even more clean.

I developed
I have also designed or developed for Hashrocket, Enable, Metalab, Reevoo and a handful of other agencies and companies.

David Seah - Owner, David Seah Digital Media
"I don't think I can fit enough content concerning the 5 years I've known Zach. What started out as some random conversations on a forum turned into a great friendship. Zach is one of those people you know will stick by you through anything. He's a young professional with the potential to really make a difference, and he's by far one of my closest friends."
Bryan Veloso - Owner, Avalonstar/Revyver
"Zach is a very diligent hardworking individual. Bridging the gap between designer and developer he used all his talents to help realize the goal of a successful project launch. A good team player that took the project on as his own and delivered."
Ryan Poland - United Directories
"Zach came into Hashrocket as a "guest star" for one of our 1st 3-2-1 Launches and very quickly made it apparent that we would be silly not to keep him around for a longer term engagement. The thing I find most intriguing about Zach is that he has both design and development skills. Depending upon the project I have been able to staff him as both a designer or as a hard corp Rails developer, and he has served both roles capably. He also has the demeanor to work well with other team members and will stand up for issues he believes in. He will argue for better solutions, refactors when appropriate and keeps the best interest of the project in mind at all times."
Ben McDonald - Business Manager, Hashrocket
"Zach is rare bird, he is both a talented designer capable of pushing pixels to create beautiful interfaces and a developer who can wire an application to function as envisioned."
