Billy Wan is a software engineer and engineering manager with 11 years of experience building high-performance web and cloud systems from frontline UI to backend infrastructure. Based in San Francisco, he has driven measurable product and platform improvements—modernizing customer-facing apps to cut load times and build sizes, launching a cross-platform design system, and migrating hundreds of experiments to a low-latency experimentation platform. At Opendoor he combined hands-on engineering with people leadership, scaling teams, mentoring engineers, and achieving top engagement scores while delivering analytics, performance, and marketing-data wins that saved time and reduced costs. He previously contributed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s Object Storage features, shipping enterprise-grade capabilities like pre-authenticated requests and data transfer services. Trained in AI at Stanford and with a background in biomedical engineering from Duke, Billy brings a rare mix of applied AI understanding, systems thinking, and product-first ownership. He’s known for translating complex technical challenges into pragmatic, measurable outcomes and for rapidly upskilling teams to broaden their impact.
