Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChan Nguyen is a founder and engineering leader with 12 years of experience building and scaling product-first engineering teams for startups, currently leading Spartan and LayerProof from Los Angeles. He blends hands-on principal engineering experience (former roles at Bird and ZipRecruiter) with CTO-level strategy, helping founders move faster, de-risk technical choices, and scale with confidence. Chan has a track record advising and consulting across fintech and mobility sectors, and has repeatedly transitioned from individual contributor to founder/CTO roles. He pairs a strong mathematics and computer science background with a founder mentality—treating client products as if they were his own—which informs Spartan’s product-first outsourcing model. An often-overlooked strength is his breadth of experience across early-stage consulting and scaled product environments, enabling pragmatic technical roadmaps that survive rapid growth.
