Zachary Hampton is a hands-on Chief Technology Officer based in San Francisco with five years of professional experience and a lifetime of programming and pen-testing that began at age ten. He specializes in high-scale Python web scraping, anti-bot engineering, and applied AI, having built ETL pipelines that processed 600M+ candidate records monthly and developed numerous bypass modules for Cloudflare, F5 ASM, and Enterprise reCAPTCHA. As an early employee at marketplace and arbitrage startups, he designed market-making bots and automated pricing engines that turned niche products into scalable platforms. Now leading tech at a YC S24 startup, he blends rapid prototyping with production-grade systems to move from research to revenue quickly. Less obvious: he pairs offensive security instincts with product intuition, often using reverse-engineering techniques to unlock data sources and competitive advantage.
