Zak Lyons

Zak Lyons is a Austin native engineer and product developer with deep experience building AI-enabled systems for real-world, high-pressure environments. Over his career, he has led technical development across multiple HealthTech and operational platforms, specializing in translating messy workflows into clean, intuitive software. He’s known for his ability to move fast, architect scalable solutions, and bring clarity to systems that desperately need it.

Zak’s connection to the recovery space is both practical and personal. His own season of addiction and return to stability gives him a grounded perspective on what actually works inside inpatient environments. He understands firsthand how modern tools can make the work smoother, clearer, and more humane.

Outside of engineering, Zak is a devoted father and proud seventh-generation Texan. He builds furniture through his woodworking hobby as well as custom art pieces, plays drums in the band Law By The Gun, and spends as much time as possible with his children, Penny and Luke.
