Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGlen Gao is a founder and seasoned software engineer with eight years of experience building infrastructure and data systems across blockchain, ML, and high-performance trading environments. He was a founding engineer at Mysten Labs where he helped take Sui network data serving from 0 to 1, and previously led blockchain data and NFT efforts at Novi/Instagram within Meta. Glen combines low-level performance work (early career at Hudson River Trading and LLVM-to-JavaScript tooling at Tableau) with product-facing platform delivery, and has repeatedly shipped 0→1 systems and grown engineering teams. Now leading a stealth startup focused on advancing agent capabilities, he blends research-grade technical depth from an MS in Computational Science with practical startup execution. An uncommon through-line in his career is moving between cutting-edge crypto infra and large-scale ML/platform teams, giving him a rare interdisciplinary perspective.
