About

Hi, I’m Zach Waugh, a software engineer living in Baltimore, MD. I’ve worked with a variety of languages and platforms over my career, but my passion for the last 10 years has been building for Apple platforms, mostly focused on iOS. I consider myself a product engineer, my focus is always on the details that make a great product that goes beyond just writing good code.

Currently, I’m a Staff Engineer at Rewatch where I work on the iOS app and macOS screen recorder. Prior to that, I was Lead iOS Developer at Basecamp, responsible for the development of all their iOS apps, including HEY and Basecamp 3. Before Basecamp, I made a popular native Campfire client for macOS and iOS called Flint, built v2 of CloudApp for Mac, and much more. See all my work for the nitty gritty.

After a hiatus of a few years, I started working on my own side projects again. I’m currently working on Breaks, a focus timer for iOS. Before that, I released Whirl to scratch my own itch for a dead-simple sketching app.

When I’m not working and get a moment of free time (which is rare since I have two kids), I’ve been trying to perfect a Neopolitan style pizza.
