About Me

I'm Zac Bowling, a Staff AI Software Engineer at Meta, where I work on AI-powered developer tools at Reality Labs for Horizon OS, Quest VR, and wearables.

Background

Before Meta, I worked at Modular on AI software and high-performance machine learning infrastructure. Before that, I was part of Google's Fuchsia OS project, where I worked on system libraries, drivers, toolchains, and a new Bluetooth stack.

I'm a former startup founder and have held senior engineering positions at companies including Apportable (acquired by Google), SeatMe (acquired by Yelp), doubleTwist, Texas Instruments, and Match.com.

This Site

This is my "code labs" — a place to showcase open source projects, experiments, and technical writings. It's separate from my main personal site which covers my broader work and advocacy.

The terminal aesthetic is a nod to where I spend most of my time — in the shell, writing code, and debugging systems.
