Perry Liu is a software engineer based in California with 15 years of technical expertise and a decade of hands-on experience delivering navigation and location products end-to-end. He has built scalable spatial databases, routing engines, map-making pipelines, and last-mile solutions from scratch to production, driving efforts at Telenav and currently at DoorDash. Perry led cross-continental teams and replaced proprietary stacks with open-source tooling (OSRM, Valhalla, Tegola), demonstrating both systems-level judgment and pragmatic engineering. At DoorDash he pioneered address content, micro address points, parking intelligence, and last-meter paths that digitize real-world delivery flows. He combines deep algorithmic knowledge (Highway Hierarchy, Contraction Hierarchies, HMM map-matching) with product-focused delivery, and maintains a low-key open-source footprint alongside impactful platform work.
