Summary
Cory Liu is an iOS and Mac software developer with 11 years of experience building customer-focused mobile and desktop apps from concept to App Store distribution. He has a strong mastery of Swift, Objective-C, Xcode, Cocoa/UIKit, and modern concurrency patterns, and a track record of shipping commercially successful products — including apps that collectively reached 3.65 million downloads and a GIF capture tool acquired and rebranded by Giphy. Cory combines product instincts with engineering discipline, having implemented accessibility, localization, high test coverage, and offline-first data persistence in enterprise and consumer apps. He also brings computer vision and multimedia experience (OpenCV, PhotoKit, AVKit) and has built creative tooling for video captioning and image editing. A serial founder with early web successes and analytics experience, he pairs startup grit with formal training in programming and management. Curious and polyglot by practice, he experiments across Python, C/C++, React, and even Solidity for Ethereum projects.
