Zachary Stewart

Zachary Stewart has spent the better part of twelve years getting his hands on things most people only read about — gadgets, trail gear, standing desks, and everything in between. Based in San Francisco, he brings that same obsessive curiosity to GiftRanks, where he curates picks across tech, outdoor, and workspace categories. His background in Industrial Design from Oregon State, paired with a CESA certification, shapes how he evaluates products — function and form both matter. Gear reviews for Wirecutter and Outdoor Life, plus hands-on consulting for a 40,000-member corporate gifting program, have sharpened his instincts considerably. He's tested over 600 products since 2012. He also owns four mechanical keyboards, each serving a very specific purpose — his wife disagrees.
