Sam Barani is a Member of Technical Staff based in San Francisco with 12 years of software engineering experience across consumer tech and cutting-edge crypto/DeFi projects. He built and led engineering efforts from founding a VC-backed DeFi protocol (Tonic) to senior roles at Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs, and has advised and served as interim CTO for Glass Markets. His background includes product experimentation at Facebook and internships at Google, Uber, and Yelp, giving him a strong foundation in scalable product development and experimentation.
