David Liu is a results-driven software engineer with 12 years of experience designing and optimizing large-scale distributed systems across backend, iOS, and frontend domains. Currently at Pinterest, he focuses on API performance engineering and data workflows, after shaping core map, ETA, and routing systems at Uber and building high-quality video players at Amazon. He combines solution architecture and performance engineering expertise with hands-on implementation—evident from an open-source iOS radio-button component that improved Swift compatibility and Interface Builder support. Based in San Francisco, he brings a blend of startup founder grit (scaling a top Chinese app-recommendation site to ~100k daily visitors) and formal training in computer science and leadership strategy.
