Zach Moazeni’s Experience

• Founder

  Downstream

  (Privately Held; Internet industry)

  May 2009 — Present (3 months)

  As a co-founder of Downstream, I am tasked with the development in order to bring the product to launch. I am also responsible for the Application Scaling plans as well as helping give language to the other founders as they communicate to investors.

• Software Developer

  Elevator Up

  (Privately Held; Internet industry)

  January 2007 — Present (2 years 7 months)

  I've taken the technical lead on many of Elevator Up's projects from decision, design, and the implementation. Beyond the codebase itself, I have also been tasked to train junior developers to become productive contributors to the team. These projects have exposed me to many leading edge open source technologies surrounding the Rails stack.
  
  Though my role is primarily as a developer, I've also taken responsibility in a wide variety of non-software areas. Business Planning, Business/Revenue Modeling, Interviewing/Hiring, Proposals, Estimating, Project Management, Server and Network Engineering/Administration, User Interface Design. My role(s) have consistently required me to distill technical knowledge and translate it into business terms.

• Developer

  Atomic Object

  April 2006 — September 2006 (6 months)

  I was immersed into an Agile culture, and learned the XP style of development. My primary projects included working with Ruby, OpenLaszlo, Oracle Reporting and SQL performance tuning.

• Software Developer

  Foxbright

  (Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  July 2005 — April 2006 (10 months)

  I was the lead on a custom Java ERP system using technologies such as Hibernate, Tomcat, JSF, MySQL, and J2EE.

• Software Engineer

  Smiths Aerospace

  (Public Company; SMIN.L; Aviation & Aerospace industry)

  September 2004 — August 2005 (1 year)

  Starting as an intern, I moved into a lead developer role on an internal Project Collaboration System that would allow Directors to communicate reviews with Project Managers on large projects. Technologies included J2EE, JBoss, and MySQL. I was a technical point person for the Directors and Project Managers alike.
