Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEdward Sun is a software engineer and founder with 7 years of experience building developer-facing systems and payments infrastructure, currently shaping agent capabilities as a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI. He co-founded and led engineering at Paper, a crypto onramp platform that processed millions in monthly volume and was acquired by thirdweb, where he then drove wallet and payments products and org-wide engineering processes. Earlier roles include scaling feed and notifications systems at Nextdoor and co-founding education and hiring startups that were acquired, reflecting a pattern of building product-led companies to exit. Edward is an active open-source contributor with practical experience improving Google Cloud/Terraform integrations, and he offers GCP consultation expertise. Based in the Bay Area and trained in computer science at Waterloo, he blends startup grit with systems-level engineering and product instincts. A less obvious thread through his career is repeated operator experience—from incident processes to data reporting—showing he builds teams and runbooks as reliably as he ships code.
