Summary
Zach Gottlieb is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years building data-driven web applications and a track record of leading front-end migrations and analytics products. He’s shipped complex UI work and infrastructure—migrating Angular 1.x apps to modern TypeScript stacks, building D3 charting dashboards, and replacing legacy builds with Webpack—while also managing teams and release processes. Zach has blended hands-on engineering and people leadership as a technical lead and manager at Asimov and now drives platform work at Dash Bio. His background in science journalism and neuroscience gives him a rare ability to translate technical complexity into clear, user-focused features for learning and analysis tools. Based in Newton, MA, he prefers projects that help people learn, analyze, and create, and often combines front-end craft with pragmatic backend solutions.
