Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZach Langley is a founding ZK engineer based in New York with 11 years of engineering experience spanning blockchain, AI, bioinformatics, and consumer mobile products. He’s driven novel research-to-production efforts—from building a Layer 2 for Algorand and pioneering zero-knowledge work at Axiom to training text-to-speech diffusion models and shipping an AI assistant at a stealth startup. Earlier roles include patent-backed genomics tooling at Color and full-stack mobile engineering at Twitter and Operator, reflecting a rare blend of ML research, low-level systems, and product shipping. Zach holds a PhD in Computer Science and is selective about opportunities, focusing on high-impact technical problems rather than standard software roles. An uncommon thread in his career is teaching himself domain expertise quickly—moving from bioinformatics to state-of-the-art generative models and cryptography.
