Summary
J Liu is a pragmatic backend-focused software engineer with 9 years of experience, currently building iDEAL acquiring payment systems at ING using Java/Kotlin, Spring, and cloud-native tooling (Docker/Kubernetes, Azure DevOps). His background spans full-stack web apps, NLP/ML, and low-level compiler backends, giving him a rare blend of systems thinking from compilers to production services. He has shipped microservices, reactive systems, and frontend components, and has practical experience with Kafka, Oracle, Grafana/Prometheus and CI/CD pipelines. Curious by nature, he gravitates to unfamiliar domains and quickly turns that curiosity into production-ready solutions—evident from projects ranging from DSP compiler toolchains to relation-extraction services and a genealogy web app. Based in Amsterdam, he brings disciplined engineering and cross-domain fluency to payment and backend platforms.
