Summary
👤
SeniorBoyu Liu is a software engineer and research intern with nine years of hands-on experience building interactive web applications and research tools, currently based in Champaign, Illinois and pursuing a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science at UIUC. He has delivered full-stack projects—from Next.js mobile accessibility surveys and TensorBoard-integrated neural network visualizers to interactive math games that visualize combinatorial group theory—demonstrating strong skills in React, TypeScript, Node.js, and backend API design. Boyu contributes to open-source quality improvement, notably strengthening fuzzing test coverage and fixing edge-case underflow bugs in the widely used KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools project. He combines academic research roles with practical deployment experience (Docker, Vercel, on-premise servers) and a knack for UI/UX interaction design, such as mouse-driven controls and in-game tutorials that teach complex concepts. Seeking a summer 2026 software engineering internship, he brings a blend of research rigor, production-grade engineering, and a taste for turning abstract mathematical ideas into engaging, interactive software.
