> Zach created Ash, a framework for describing application resources in Elixir, and Igniter, a tool for code generation and project changes.

Zach created Ash Framework and co-authored its book with Rebecca Le. His work focuses on declarative design: describing application resources and behavior so shared tools can handle more of the repeated implementation work.
