About

Zachary Forrest y Salazar is a software engineer, photographer, and poet. Born in Missouri and raised in Kansas, he somehow found himself in Santa Barbara, California, and called it home.

As a software engineer, he's proven himself as a technical leader for companies like Slack, ParentSquare, Sonos, and GoToMeeting.

As a poet, he has work published in Only Poems Magazine, Moon City Review, Pensive Journal, and Imposter Magazine. He was also shortlisted for the 2023 Poetry Wales Award.
