# Zachary Meyer

Co-founder & CTO based in New York City.

## About

I'm a software engineer and entrepreneur building products at the
intersection of web, accessibility, and decentralized technology.

Currently co-founder:
- **Ord.io** — The leading Bitcoin Ordinals explorer (380k+ users)

Previously a software engineer at Gordian Software (YC 19), and a
graduate of Washington University in St. Louis (Biochemistry major,
CS & Philosophy minors, 3.94 GPA).

## This Site

This portfolio is built with Next.js 16, Tailwind CSS v4, and the
Vercel AI SDK. The terminal you're using right now runs just-bash
in the browser, and the `agent` command connects to an AI that
knows about my work and experience.
