Summary
👤
SeniorRobin Liao is a principal software engineering manager and computational scientist who blends deep academic rigor (PhD in Ocean Engineering) with two decades of hands-on programming and product leadership, currently shaping conversational and AI-driven experiences for Microsoft Teams. He led the Adaptive Cards and bots front-end work that featured in multiple Microsoft build keynotes and now drives Teams' LLM/Co-pilot UI and extensibility platform at scale. Equally comfortable in legacy Fortran/CFD codebases and modern TypeScript/React stacks, he pairs systems thinking in large-scale scientific simulations with practical design and delivery of enterprise chat platforms. An entrepreneur and NLP inventor with a US patent and startup exits, he also publishes across hydroinformatics, multi-physics modeling and ML for environmental systems—a rare crossover that informs robust, data-driven product decisions. Based in Woodinville, WA, he mentors engineering teams while keeping one foot in academic research and the other in production-grade front-end architecture.
