Summary
Weibin Sun is a Tech Lead Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building the scalable, reliable, global networking control plane for Google Cloud, driving systems that handle over a billion config updates across 100+ clusters and nearly a million machines. He designs and evolves control plane architectures, led the disaster recovery efforts for the next-generation networking control plane, and migrated data plane gateways from kernel-space to userspace to materially improve efficiency. A PhD-trained systems researcher, he has deep low-level expertise—having hacked the Linux kernel and pioneered GPU-accelerated storage and packet processing during his graduate work—bringing research-grade performance optimizations into production at cloud scale. Based in California, he combines hands-on incident “ninja” work with long-term architectural leadership, regularly delivering solutions that save significant engineering effort while improving global reliability.
