Summary
Steven Zhang is a founder and software engineer with 12 years of experience building data-driven products that illuminate complex systems—from enterprise apps at Airtable and Tableau to public-facing trackers he now runs. He co-founded Interconnection.fyi to live-track grid interconnection queues and WARNTracker to map layoffs, and created ClimateTechList, a daily-updated climate jobs aggregator with 30,000+ listings. Comfortable across front-end and backend work, he was early engineer hire at Airtable working on importing, rich text, and performance for large bases, and previously built features for Tableau Online. His background blends electrical and environmental engineering training, a Fulbright research fellowship in China, and a knack for turning government and utility filings into actionable datasets. That mix of product-first engineering and domain-focused data work makes him adept at shipping tooling that exposes slow-moving infrastructure and market dynamics.
