Athan Zhang

I'm a Founder and the CEO of Coevolved, a small, technical team backed by Y Combinator working to streamline mortgage loan origination.

I'm an effectual, pragmatic engineer with an eye for design. I studied Computer Science at Princeton and was the only one in my class to skip a grade. I've been coding since I was 12, and I'm still obsessed with building things that make a tangible difference for the people who use them.

I've been fortunate to have a strong upbringing and education. I try to pay it forward by treating that privilege as responsibility, and meeting it with the tenacity to build and the resolve to contribute.

Outside of work, I love cooking, training for triathlons, and mentoring wherever I can.
