Summary
Ruochen Liu is a software engineer with seven years of experience building research-driven and production systems, currently working at Meta in Palo Alto. He holds a CS master's from Stanford and a CS+Statistics bachelor's from UC Berkeley, blending strong academic research (multiple Stanford and Berkeley research roles) with industry experience at Bloomberg, AWS, Alibaba, and Goldman Sachs. Ruochen has cycled between research and product engineering—contributing to projects like the Stanford Deliberation Platform and SVL’s AI-assisted care—showing strength in applied ML and systems integration. His background includes full-stack development, cloud services, and internships that exposed him to large-scale engineering practices at hyperscalers. Colleagues describe him as someone who translates academic insights into production-ready features while keeping a practical, data-informed focus. He brings a pattern of moving quickly between exploratory research and shipping robust, user-facing systems.
