Custom Work in Metal, Code & Tech

I’m Zack Halsey — a multi-skilled freelancer delivering one-of-a-kind solutions in welding, web development, 3D modeling, and more.

Get in Touch

I’m a multi-passionate maker, builder, fixer, cand digital problem-slayer — a true jack of all (and yeah, I master plenty too). Whether I’m bending metal, wiring up a custom harness, scripting a tool in Python, or spinning up a clean, no-BS website, I live where tech meets hands-on grit. This site is my sandbox, my resume, and my creative wrecking yard — filled with projects that solve real problems and look damn good doing it.

If it sparks, clicks, prints, or connects — chances are I’ve built it, broken it, fixed it better, and documented the whole thing with a camera in one hand and a soldering iron in the other. Dive in. See what happens when curiosity doesn’t quit.

Hands-On Builds with Real-World Grit

My hands have built more than just code — they’ve crafted experiences. I weld, print, cut, and shape raw materials into functional, purpose-driven gear that lasts. From custom mounts that fit like they were made by the machine itself to solid, overbuilt desks that could survive a warzone — if I can imagine it, I can build it.

But what I build isn’t only with tools — it’s also with a lens.

Photography is where my precision meets creativity. I shoot landscapes that breathe, portraits that tell stories, and cars that look like they belong in a magazine spread. Nature, street, mechanical details, or dynamic motion — I document it all with the same attention I bring to engineering. I use my camera not just to capture what is, but to reveal what most miss: the mood in a forest shadow, the gleam of paint under golden hour, or the expression between the poses.

Prototyping still has its place — 3D printing and circuitry bring my technical ideas to life — but photography is how I connect with people. It’s how I share not just what I’ve made, but the way I see.

These aren't just passion projects. They're a fusion of craft, creativity, and real-world application — built to last, and made to be seen.

Technology That Gets Sh*t Done

This isn’t just code for code’s sake. I build smart, practical solutions — websites that don’t break, scripts that save time, networks that actually stay online, and machines that hum instead of hiccup. Python? Love it. SQL? Got it. I build custom PCs that crush, secure systems that stay locked down, and microcontroller setups that talk to the real world without drama. Linux or Windows, I’m fluent in both. I’ve also helped more people remotely than I can count — and I don’t make anyone feel dumb for asking. Check out the projects — the proof’s in the portfolio.
