Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQuan Phan is a software engineer with 17 years of experience, now a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI based in Seattle. He blends functional-programming fluency (notably Clojure) with practical full-stack expertise, shipping backend optimizations and intuitive React interfaces that cut latencies from minutes to seconds. Quan has driven product-impacting work across startups and internships—from scaling VR device provisioning and observable command queues to designing dashboard-as-code that boosted analytics adoption. He pairs data-driven problem solving (dbt, BigQuery, Prefect) with product instincts honed through cross-functional roles in product and data engineering. Known on GitHub as a "Clojurian" and reducer-minded engineer, he brings a taste for elegant, composable solutions. Quietly, he often pivots between hands-on implementation and defining APIs or syntax that enable teams to move faster.
