Summary
Richard Liu is a full-stack software engineer with a strong research-to-product track record across Microsoft, Meta, Databricks, and blockchain startups, blending front-end SPA and mobile work with backend systems in C/C#, Node, and Azure. He helped incubate Microsoft Xiaoying, led Android and web prototyping efforts at MSRA, and at Meta built generators and tooling that drove a majority of Reels viewport views and sped recommendation debugging. Comfortable across React/Knockout, Android, Express, and MongoDB, he combines hands-on implementation with UX-first thinking and a propensity for building developer tools (including a time-saving Chrome extension). A Beihang M.S. in Computer Science and an Illinois MBA underpin a mix of technical depth and product insight. Based in Lynnwood, WA, he brings a voracious learning habit and a creative side—drawing and photography—that informs his attention to visual and interaction details.
