Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChao Liu is a pragmatic technology leader and co-founder serving as CTO of Camect, with a decade of engineering experience at Google and 8+ years building a privacy-first security camera platform. He is a full-stack engineer who tackles real-world problems with creative algorithms and infrastructure—at Google he developed a unique algorithm that materially improved web crawl and indexing quality. Frustrated by fragmented, noisy camera ecosystems, he co-founded Camect in 2017 to deliver a secure, local-first system that reduces false alerts and unifies diverse camera brands. Comfortable across web, mobile (Android) and backend systems, he blends research-grade thinking from his CS degrees with hands-on product engineering. Based in Mountain View, he now focuses on scaling Camect’s B2B monitoring offering while keeping privacy and accuracy at the core of the product. A maker more interested in useful outcomes than particular technologies, he favors solutions that demonstrably help users.
