Summary
Zach Johnson is a product-first CTO and hands-on engineer with eight years of experience building revenue-generating B2B and consumer products, having led five 0-to-1 launches that produced over $10M in cumulative revenue. He excels at rapid, AI-augmented development—his two-person team built a fully compliant K-12 safety platform in five months that reached $300K ARR and a $3M+ pipeline while serving 20 districts. Technically fluent across Flutter, React, Rails, Python, Go, and RAG-based AI stacks, he architects secure, enterprise-grade integrations (universal SIS, OAuth2, FERPA/COPPA/HIPAA) while still shipping code. Zach pairs strategic product vision with emotional intelligence, often coding alongside small cross-functional teams to compress timelines and costs. He’s an early adopter of AI developer tools (Claude Code, Cursor) and self-hosted LLaMA deployments, demonstrating 5-10x productivity gains in practice. Based in Logan, Utah, he combines founder grit with a designer-developer mindset and a personal focus on mental health technology.
