Top SchoolChao Liu is a pragmatic software engineer with over 10 years of experience building high-concurrency backend systems and platform services, currently contributing to the Platform Access team at SafetyCulture in New South Wales. He has led large-scale efforts at Tencent—rewriting ad systems, delivering event subsystems that handled millions of requests per minute, and introducing cloud-native tooling like Kubernetes, gRPC, and observability stacks to speed development. As a former CTO of a 100-person startup, he scaled engineering teams and doubled development performance while owning payment and supply-chain systems. Comfortable across C++, Golang, distributed databases, messaging, and observability, he combines hands-on coding with systems-level architecture and operational experience. Colleagues know him for turning high-concurrency pain points into efficient, maintainable platforms and for consistently driving measurable performance and reliability gains.
