Summary
Cody Lieu is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building data-driven, ML-enabled platforms, currently leading Coursera’s Platform Skills team in Hong Kong. He has deep full-stack and systems experience owning payment and product fulfillment infrastructure, monetization experimentation, and large-scale skill-tagging pipelines that power Coursera’s taxonomy across hundreds of thousands of course items. Cody blends technical leadership with cross-functional collaboration—working closely with ML, data engineering, product, and sales—to deliver models and services that operate at learner-scale. He co-founded a pandemic-era startup that shipped a novel distance-first video conferencing product leveraging on-device pose/gesture ML, and even collaborated with Google to diagnose a MediaPipe memory leak. Comfortable in compliance-heavy, high-stakes environments (including work across IPO timelines), he pairs hands-on engineering with coaching and team development. A lifelong learner based in Hong Kong, he repeatedly turns experimental ML and product ideas into production-grade systems.
