Summary
David Liu is a Canadian-born technology leader based in Oslo with 11 years of hands-on engineering and product experience, currently serving as CTO at Vouch. He has deep expertise in data modeling, developer and user-facing experiences, and AI-infused products from his senior roles at Cognite where he progressed from engineer to director. Comfortable shipping across the full stack—APIs, web and 3D visualization, and mobile—he’s led teams to productionize large-scale data workflows and improve developer velocity through CI/CD and architecture work. A pragmatist who moves between coding and product strategy, he has a track record of resolving ambiguity in early-stage features and coordinating cross-functional releases. Outside work he’s known for building team culture (he introduced game nights at Cognite) and for a playful competitive streak that surfaces even in internships.
