Zane is a beast.
Don't let his humbleness fool you.At his current trajectory, he has the potential to single-handedly develop a world changing application/product, but would do so with magnanimousness/benevolence the world desperately needs from it's best and brightest right now.
What I have seen him accomplish in 24 hours, with persistence, resiliency, and optimism has truly left me in both awe and utter fascination with what he will accomplish in the future. It was a pleasure and an honor to have met and had the opportunity to hack with him.

Comments from CS Professors of William & Mary University
on one of my projects: Last Minute Meals"You should be very proud of yourselves, This is a great application of Machine Learning & computer vision. Your team has created a fantastic MVP. I encourage you to continue developing this project in future hackathons. This is not only a fantastic solution to the problem of food waste, but you also have demonstrated a level of technical excellence far beyond beginner hackers."
"Suggesting ways to responsibly dispose of an item is a great idea for providing the user with something actionable. Too often, tech ideas lose the plot regarding how to target their audience or make an impact, but I think this is a great idea."
