Software Engineer · Systems Developer

I build the systems behind reliable software.

I'm Zack Bumpous, a software engineer working across .NET applications, REST APIs, Azure infrastructure, integrations, and data. Since 2022, I've helped build and maintain software used in production.

01 / About

Software that holds up beyond the demo.

I work on backend services, cloud resources, data flows, and the connections between them. My day-to-day engineering spans implementation, deployment, troubleshooting, and long-term maintenance—not just writing code in isolation.

Today, I build and support statewide government systems at the South Dakota Bureau of Information and Telecommunications. I care about clear interfaces, dependable delivery, and software that the next engineer can understand.
