I'm Zack Kordeleski.

I am a software developer and educator who loves to build things that mix my love of people, math, data, and code.

Check out my work!

Some of the things I've made:

Dancify

A React web-app that empowers users to build mood-themed playlists using data visualizations of their personal Spotify music libraries.

Algorithmic Music Generation

Algorithmic Music Generation

A paper discussing my application that let's you generate new music by using existing songs, Markov chains, and some clever mathematics.

Mastery School

The Mastery School of Hawken

A non-profit startup school I launched where students learn STEM skills by solving actual, real-world problems with community partners.

Swarm Simulation

Simulating Swarm Behavior

A simple simulation that uses Boid's algorithm and some math/physics know-how to visualize the swarming behaviors of creatures like birds, fish, and insects.

Procedurally Generated Terrain

Procedural Generation

During my time teaching STEM, I've mentored many students through their own software projects. Checkout this sample wherein students create terrain through procedural generation.

Coding with Music

Every year, I partner with Jodie Ricci of Harvard's Project Zero to work with students on an interdisciplinary math / music / coding learning experience.

Redesigning School Logo

Redesigning School

The best way to develop problem-solving skills is to solve real problems. I discuss what STEM education can be in this experiential format.
