Summary
Albert Liao is a technical manager with 14 years of engineering experience and over a decade specializing in embedded systems for consumer devices, leading teams across firmware, Linux kernel customization, device drivers, and ARM-based platforms. He has deep expertise in real-time streaming, TCP/IP, NAT traversal and cloud-connected P2P services, and has shipped IP camera firmware, ONVIF compliance, and video analytics including object and face recognition. A pragmatic leader, he has managed multidisciplinary teams, produced SOPs for critical system issues (memory leaks, heap corruption, race conditions), and mentored engineers through IC development and field trials across Asia. His hands-on background spans C/C++ and Objective-C development, iOS apps, OpenMAX/JPEG drivers, and porting complex open-source stacks like FFmpeg and Live555 to embedded targets. Notably, he combined networking tricks (hole punching, UDP tunnels, pseudoTCP) with cloud services to enable reliable remote access for camera systems. Based in Hsinchu, Taiwan, he pairs academic grounding in computer science with a track record of turning research-grade protocols into robust, product-ready systems.
