Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Liu is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer based in Vancouver with nine years of experience bridging embedded systems and full-stack application development. He currently contributes to FortiAnalyzer backend work in C with Redis and SQL, and previously built embedded Linux kernels, device trees, and drivers for diverse sensors and peripherals. Comfortable across Python, PHP, TypeScript and C/C++, he has a track record of modernizing web frontends (migrating vanilla JS to React), consolidating server stacks, and fixing subtle asynchronous race conditions. At Gumstix and Altium he automated build/test pipelines, designed APIs, and improved hardware test stability—skills that inform his pragmatic approach to systems reliability. His academic foundation in computer engineering from Simon Fraser University complements a hands-on habit of improving developer workflows, including creating Git hooks and streamlining deployments. Notably, he blends low-level kernel and driver expertise with backend web architecture, enabling faster iteration across hardware-software boundaries.
