Zach Noren

Paul Souders Senior Web Architect , Ports 1961 advised Zach at Xiamen International School

“I met Zach while he was a student at Xiamen International School. His computer mojo had already surpassed of all the staff at the School, including its exemplary IT teacher. He was busy building dynamic websites in PHP, tearing apart and rebuilding servers, and drafting business plans … all this between guitar-playing gigs, designing posters for school events, learning conversational Mandarin, and perfecting his bowling score. Zach is a brilliant, energetic, highly motivated individual. He is the very definition of a “self starter.” He never lacks for ideas or the desire to see them through. In addition to considerable computer acumen, he has keen business perceptions and global outlook as befits his world-spanning youth. His energy is infectious and expansive. I feel fortunate to have met Zach. I have no doubt that he’s already making his mark, and is destined for great things.” February 11, 2009
