Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaige Sun is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building mobile and AR/VR experiences, currently developing AR lenses and creator tooling at Snap in New York. She led the rollout of React Native’s new bridgeless architecture across 1200+ Facebook iOS surfaces at Meta, improving monetization and engagement, and made notable open-source contributions to the flagship facebook/react-native project on iOS.

She pairs deep low-level infrastructure work—profiling, modularizing core dependencies, and fixing subtle lifecycle bugs—with a knack for rapid prototyping and hackathon-winning creativity. Her background in both product-facing apps and engine-level testing for VR highlights a rare blend of pragmatic delivery and systems thinking.
