Summary
Zanson Watt is a seasoned VP of Software Engineering with two decades of experience building and leading teams across B2B marketing, VoIP, and healthcare. He combines hands-on engineering chops—from UI/UX and Angular frameworks to cloud migrations and XMPP/webRTC chat implementations—with strategic leadership that simplifies complex systems and automates workflows. Known for promoting transparency and strong business–engineering communication, he pairs an eye for design and accessibility with pragmatic architecture and documentation practices. He has a track record of rapid delivery (e.g., shipping a ground-up XMPP/webRTC chat in three months) and modernizing legacy stacks into scalable AWS services. Beyond tech leadership, Zanson is a community builder who runs large cultural events in Philly and brings that same logistical rigor to product and team operations. Based in Maine, he blends a renaissance-man curiosity with a steady optimism that thrives in chaotic, fast-moving environments.
