Zack Hubert

I’m an engineering leader, founder, and occasional novelist.

Currently, I’m building products at Planning Center from Seattle.

Some highlights

Founded The City (2008) I built a social network for churches that grew to nearly a million users before being acquired by Zondervan/HarperCollins.

Built data science systems at Amazon Before “data science” was a buzzword, I led teams building competitive pricing and anomaly detection systems. The work resulted in two patents and made Jeff Bezos quite happy.

Contributed to Nobel Prize-winning physics While at Cornell, I wrote modeling software for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory at Los Alamos National Lab. The project’s chief scientist won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Published a novel In 2017, I released Singular, a science fiction novel about AI and what it means to be human.

Patents

• Anomaly Detection - US Patent 7,574,382

This blog is where I write about building software, leading teams, and the power of doing small things consistently over time.
