Guangdong Liu is a Staff Software Engineer in Houston with 7 years of experience building scalable backend systems and agentic AI platforms for HR. He has strong distributed-systems and data-engineering chops from roles at LinkedIn and PayPal, where he led zero-downtime migrations, low-latency analytics engines, and privacy-aware ETL pipelines. At Wisq he now architects no-code agent orchestration, persistent memory for agents, and domain-tuned LLMs to reduce hallucinations in enterprise workflows. An active open-source contributor and Apache committer, he has improved CI/CD, code quality, and backend features across notable projects like Apache SeaTunnel, Doris, and Paimon. His blend of production-grade infrastructure work and research-oriented training (MS/PhD-level computer science) enables him to translate complex ML and data problems into reliable, auditable systems.
