About me

I‘m a full-stack web/mobile developer living in Cincinnati, OH. By day, I do freelance development alongside a portfolio of products I‘m actively maintaining or building. I‘m currently working on Local Golf Guide and teaching web development on YouTube!

The best place to connect with me is on Twitter, but you can also reach out via email at zach.gollwitzer[at]gmail.com.

I also write a monthly newsletter called the “The Road to $8k“ which documents my journey to reach $8k MRR by building a series of small internet businesses. Enter your email below for progress updates!

Where I‘ve been

• St. Louis, MO Cleveland, OH Cincinnati, OH
• Played college golf at the University of Akron
• I currently work on the engineering team at Maybe Finance. I‘m a fullstack dev and currently work a lot with Next.js/TypeScript, AWS + CDK, GH Actions, Auth0, tRPC, NX monorepo tools, and Tailwind.

Me in 1 minute

• I teach people how to code on Youtube. I made a free, 21 hour course that I‘m pretty darn proud of.
• I teach people how to play golf at The DIY Golfer, a blog I wrote while in college. In 2019, I launched a training program called Break 90 in 90 Days, a video course that has been taken by over 500 golfers so far!
• I‘m happiest when I‘m building/learning/teaching something new.
• I love to run, especially on a trail. It‘s my favorite reason to go outside and gives me a quiet place to think, debug, and reflect. I ran my first marathon in 2021 and although I didn‘t reach my goal of breaking 4 hours, it was one of those painful experiences that teaches you things you can‘t learn anywhere else. Will be back for another try soon!
• I‘m a shameless try-hard in my rec sand-volleyball league.
• I enjoy cooking, and most recently, smoking fish/meats on the Slow ‘N Sear. Even better if I get to share the meal with some friends/family!
