About
Zach McEntire
Full-Stack & AI Engineer
I build agentic systems, cloud-native APIs, and the support tooling that keeps them running and then I support the engineers who depend on them. My background spans full-stack product engineering, Technical Account Management, and incident command, which means I can ship the feature, debug the integration, and explain both to a customer on the same day. Sometimes all three in the same afternoon.
Most recently I deployed and triaged live network infrastructure for the Sundance Film Festival : seven venues, 20,000+ attendees, zero tolerance for downtime during screenings. Before that, I led incident command at ActionIQ on production CDP failures, built agentic AI tooling at the intersection of SENTINEL/OPS and SupportDesk, and designed 6 custom ASP.NET web pages for Splunk's partner portal as a TAM at Impartner.
Off the clock: I take weightlifting and pizza with equal seriousness. Elder emo: industrial, metal, post-rock. It was never a phase. Cosmic horror enthusiast. Top three games: Bloodborne, Ocarina of Time, The Last of Us. Top three films: Blade Runner, Inception, Shawshank. Currently targeting Support Engineering, Full-Stack/Backend, and Solutions Engineering roles, remote preferred, Salt Lake City based.

How I Ship
Every project goes through the same pipeline: feature branch → CI checks → preview deploy → PR review → production. Automated from commit to live.
Branch Strategy
Feature branches off main. CI gate on every push — lint + build must pass before a PR can merge. Preview deployment auto-generates on PR open. Merge triggers production deploy.

GitHub Actions on merge
Environments
Preview channel per PR → Live on merge
Actions workflow uses firebase-hosting-pull-request.yml for preview channels and firebase-hosting-merge.yml for production.
Real Workflow — Firebase Hosting Deploy
This workflow runs on every merge to main and deploys to Firebase Hosting production. A parallel workflow (firebase-hosting-pull-request.yml) creates preview channels on every open PR.
