Summary
Jonathan Zero is a pragmatic technology leader and founder with six years of hands-on engineering and product leadership, currently serving as CTO at CareSwift (YC S25) where he led development of an AI-powered workflow that cut ambulance documentation time by 80% and piloted with 1,000+ NYC EMTs. He builds across the stack with TypeScript, Go, and Rust, blending systems-level engineering with product-first delivery to ship high-impact healthcare software. Prior roles include co-founding an engineering studio and leading product engineering through a successful acquisition, demonstrating both startup grit and exit experience. Based in New York, he pairs a BS in Computer Science with recent Y Combinator training, and favors practical automation that reduces frontline cognitive load rather than flashy prototypes.
