Lead Full-Stack Developer
Open to remoteZach Lamb
I lead frontend for RangeGPT, an AI platform that simulates real cyberattacks on live hardware.
I'm a Lead Full-Stack Developer, working across React, TypeScript, and the backend systems behind them. At Circadence, that also means owning product strategy and roadmap, so I can sit in a planning meeting and a code review on the same afternoon and be useful in both.
When I'm not at my desk, I'm teaching yoga, hiking Colorado's trails, or trying to settle the Oreo debate once and for all.

If you are considering hiring, promoting, or pulling Zach onto a new project, do it! You will not regret it! Not only is Zach an outstanding developer, teammate, and coach, but he stays grounded and communicates clearly and constructively during challenging situations. While working with him on the Promotions Pod at Purple we faced heavy workloads and tight deadlines back-to-back. Zach was consistently fulfilling his responsibilities, supporting his teammates across the board.
Zach is one of the most thorough and communicative developers I've worked with. He's able to call out when things are in jeopardy and is very invested in the culture of the company. He's a great developer who is always willing to dig in and do the research as well as support his team. He has a background in project management and that comes through with how thorough he is in his documentation and how organized he is when he tackles projects.
Zach and I worked together on the Promotions pod at Purple. During this time, Zach was a Developer on the team. I greatly appreciated Zach's ability to vocalize and lead communication for the development team. This unique skill allowed us to mitigate and tackle perceived risk and issues early on. As a Project Manager, I appreciated the level of importance Zach placed on process and culture, and I was thankful for Zach's help in driving both forward with the team.

Backend
Tools & Infrastructure
Practices
Full-Stack Architecture & Delivery
I build and ship production React and TypeScript, along with the architecture and performance work that keeps features shipping on schedule.
AI-Augmented Engineering
I embed AI tooling into team workflows: Claude Code in grooming, MCP for roadmap surfacing, shared agent configs. Quality scales without bottlenecking on review.
Product & Roadmap Strategy
At Circadence, I own the roadmap alongside the engineering work, from discovery through delivery. I've consolidated 400+ loose backlog items into structured projects and built dual roadmaps spanning multiple teams.
Process & Delivery
Certified ScrumMaster who builds the sprint cadence, retros, and cross-functional rhythms that let teams ship reliably. I've designed hiring processes adopted company-wide.
Certifications & Training
Drop a note and I'll get back to you from base camp, usually within a day. There's no wrong reason to reach out.
