Summary
Nick Liu is a tech lead and founding engineer with 11 years of experience building performance-sensitive systems across embedded, robotics, game engines, and ML model serving. Based in San Francisco, he has led teams at Genmo and Genmo AI after hands-on roles at Cohere, Roblox, Argo AI, Kodiak, and Zoox, shipping C++ and Python solutions for camera pipelines, sensor calibration, and high-throughput telemetry. He combines low-level embedded bring-up (drivers, I2C, FPGA ISP) with cloud-forward tooling for logs and model serving, making him fluent across hardware, firmware, and production infrastructure. Known for improving client/server performance, profiling allocators, and automating benchmarking, he brings a pragmatically measured approach to performance engineering. A Georgia Tech dual-degree alum, he often bridges research-grade work (CUDA, HDL, FPGA) with production readiness, which helps teams move from prototype to scalable deployments.
