Summary
Liang Hu is a Technology Analyst based in New York with eight years of hands-on experience building and shipping products across research, fintech, and consumer apps. With an MS in Computer Science from Columbia, he has blended academic research—developing speech-to-text and robot listening systems for NIST-funded projects—with practical engineering work automating APIs, deploying on Kubernetes, and improving production test pass rates. He has led product roadmaps and optimization efforts that drove measurable user growth (e.g., cutting app load time from 10s to 2s and quadrupling weekly active users) and has experience across full-stack mobile and backend stacks including Django and React Native. Comfortable moving between research, product management, and dev work, he brings a pragmatic "never hesitate to try" ethos and a track record of turning prototypes into operational solutions.
