He's the founder, creative director...hell Zachtronics is mostly him, I think?
This came during the news that Valve is making native SteamVR support for Unity and a rendering plugin.

I wasn't the only one for whom this was news, but interestingly he was already in a session from last Fall's Indie Summit: Zach Barth - Makes a VR game in 17 minutes [Summit 2015]. And the description states he joined Valve. So that's why the LTTP.
Thought people would be interested, then again I'm expecting most responses here to be lamenting he's done with games now....
or that they read it as Zach Braff.

Further details on the new SteamVR rendering plug-in are scant at the moment, though newly-minted Valve engineer Zach Barth (TIS-100, Infinifactory) is expected to give a talk at the conference this evening about how Valve uses Unity with SteamVR.

Using Unity at Valve
Track: Virtual Reality / Level: Intermediate
When we noticed that most VR developers were using Unity, we decided to use it ourselves. This meant that as we encountered and solved problems, we could share those solutions with Unity's VR development community. In this session we will look at some upcoming VR-focused features developed by Valve for use in Unity. This includes built-in SteamVR support in Unity aimed at simplifying multiplatform development and a high-performance rendering plugin to help you hit 90 FPS without sacrificing visual quality.
