Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Liaw is a seasoned infrastructure and platform engineering leader with a decade of experience building cloud-native, secure, and highly automated systems from the ground up. As the first Infra/Platform hire at 6sense he architected and scaled infrastructure, IT, and security through rapid growth to a $5.2B valuation, later leading a 19-person Infrastructure org and multiple M&A integrations. He combines hands-on engineering (Bazel, Kubernetes, Pulumi, observability, CI/CD) with strategic roadmap, hiring, and operational rigor to reduce toil and improve reliability. A force-multiplier and mentor, he’s introduced engineering core competencies, mentorship programs, and reliability testing frameworks that measurably improved org efficiency. Now at Riot Games, he focuses on protecting network traffic ingest/routing and DDoS mitigation while advising startups through Werkflow. Outside the obvious, he has a track record of shrinking build times and radically expanding IDS/IPS coverage while cutting costs, showing a pragmatic talent for technical leverage.
