I'm Zach Gates, a seasoned technology executive and educator focused on cloud architecture, full-stack engineering, and DevOps. I specialize in architecting, building, and scaling mission-critical platforms—from high-transaction financial systems to high-concurrency gaming backends. As founder of Bevel Work and Cloud49, I’ve led engineering teams, delivered robust infrastructure, and turned ambitious ideas into reliable products using Golang, Solid JS, Terraform, and Kubernetes. I’ve built CI/CD pipelines that cut deploy time from hours to minutes and helped clients meet strict compliance and security requirements. Beyond building products, I’m an active educator and mentor, recognized as a Subject Matter Expert in Cloud Infrastructure and author of a Cloud Infrastructure course that has reached thousands of students. I thrive translating complex client challenges into practical, high-impact technical strategies while growing high-performing teams and navigating regulated environments and fast-paced startups. I’m passionate about continuous learning, hands-on experimentation, and guiding teams to deliver secure, scalable systems.…I'm Zach Gates, a seasoned technology executive and educator focused on cloud architecture, full-stack engineering, and DevOps.
