Felicity Liao is a software engineer based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building back-end systems, developer experience tooling, and immersive VR projects. Currently at Meta working on Avatars SDKs and DevX, she blends production-grade engineering with a strong focus on developer-facing APIs. Her open-source work includes back-end contributions and technical documentation for FISCO BCOS, a widely deployed permissioned blockchain platform, demonstrating both systems coding and clear technical writing. Past roles span robotics research, VR project leadership, and internships at Microsoft and Stellar Cyber, reflecting a breadth of applied engineering across industries. A UC Berkeley computer science graduate with an international education background, she pairs rigorous CS fundamentals with cross-cultural perspective. Colleagues note she balances pragmatic engineering with curiosity—“light in the heart, the road under foot”—and often surfaces usability improvements that others miss.
