Summary
Dennis Liang is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years building backend systems and cloud-native microservices, currently developing Go services for Mercari’s Merpay Cash I/O team in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has strong production experience from roles at Cloudflare and IBM, owning release pipeline infrastructure, billing microservices, and deployments across Mesos and Kubernetes. Comfortable across the stack, Dennis programs primarily in Go (with Python, PHP and Postgres/Kafka exposure) and has a practical ops background from early cloud work and fault-injection research. Bilingual in Japanese (JLPT N2), he brings cross-cultural communication to engineering teams and a playful persistence—once applied to maximizing Nerf dart range—that reflects his hands-on problem-solving style.
