Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTian Pan is a seasoned software engineer and open-source contributor with 13 years of experience, focused on senior staff / principal-level roles, cofounder/CTO positions, or total compensation targets at the $800k+/yr band. Based in San Francisco and holding an M.S. in Computer Science from Yale, he pairs deep backend systems expertise in Go and TypeScript with production-facing blockchain experience—having fixed core stability issues and improved explorer UX in the IoTeX protocol implementation. His background includes tenures at IoTeX, Uber, and Microsoft, reflecting a mix of startup agility and large-scale engineering rigor. Tian combines hands-on debugging and systems hardening with strategic product sense, comfortable owning both low-level state/trie fixes and high-level API ergonomics. Notably, he frames his work around open-source impact and scaled throughput systems (IoTeX’s ultra-efficient EVM with 1000 TPS), signaling a bias for projects where performance and composability matter. He is selective about leadership-level opportunities that let him shape technical direction and equity upside while continuing to code.
