Summary
Hsien-hsiu Liao is a blockchain-focused software engineer with eight years of experience building full-stack and decentralized applications, now based in Los Angeles. She has hands-on expertise migrating and modernizing smart contract stacks (Truffle→Hardhat, Solidity 0.6→0.8) and optimizing web3 integrations, achieving measurable gains in gas costs, load times, test coverage and deployment velocity. Her background spans embedded and enterprise systems testing at Panasonic Avionics to full-stack React/.NET marketplaces, giving her a practical appreciation for reliability, QA, and production uptime. She’s built multiple DeFi and NFT projects, Rust smart contracts on NEAR, and developer tooling templates that streamline Solana-era workflows. Comfortable across JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Solidity and Rust, she pairs low-level protocol work with frontend UX improvements—evidenced by significant reductions in runtime errors and server costs in her recent projects. Beyond coding, she brings cross-domain systems experience from avionics to healthcare IT, which informs her security- and operations-minded approach to decentralised app design.
