Senior Software Engineer
Zach Lamb
I build tools for people — and I’m always up for a conversation about code, the outdoors, or Oreos.

Trail Guide
I’m a frontend-leaning full-stack engineer with over a decade of experience building web applications that people actually enjoy using. Currently, I’m at Circadence crafting AI-powered tools for cybersecurity professionals. Before that, I helped Starbucks store teams communicate better and built design systems at StellarFi. I’m a Certified ScrumMaster who believes great software comes from great processes and empathetic teams. When I’m not writing code, you’ll find me teaching yoga, exploring Colorado’s trails, lifting weights, or debating the best Oreo flavor.
