Top SchoolLarry Liu is a Staff Data Scientist and tech lead manager at Meta with 11 years of experience building data-driven products that connect human behavior and scalable systems. Trained in computer science and psychology at Stanford, he blends rigorous quantitative modeling with a deep, research-informed interest in empathy and emotional intelligence.

His career spans data science roles across Meta/Facebook and internships at Riot, LinkedIn, and Yahoo, giving him strong cross-domain product and analytics experience.
