Founding Engineer at Nook
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLarry Wei is a founding engineer and product-minded leader with 11 years of experience building mobile and data-driven products in the Bay Area. He scaled core experiences across Uber’s Rider, Driver, Eats, and Freight teams—growing from data science into staff engineer and later engineering leader roles where he mentored engineering teams and shipped at scale. Now at Nook, he’s applying that platform and product experience to increase financial yields for everyday people. His background blends econometrics and machine learning from Analysis Group and Facebook with hands-on mobile and platform engineering, giving him a rare fluency between analytics and production mobile systems. Known for pushing boundaries—“if nobody tells you you’re wrong you’re not doing it right”—he favors defensible experiments that surface real user value. Based in San Francisco, he pairs a triple major in CS, Economics, and Math with practical bootcamp iOS training, enabling both high-level strategy and hands-on delivery.
