Senior🎓
Top SchoolWei-ping Liao is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance, scalable web applications, currently based in California. He specializes in Ruby on Rails and React, and has led major initiatives like a reusable rules engine, OCR/ML invoice processing, and Plaid-based bank feed reconciliation that saved customers thousands of hours. At AppFolio he drove a zero-downtime Rails 6 migration and migrated deployment from Puppet to Kubernetes, improving reliability and speed across a large monolith and many services. Now at ParentSquare he continues to blend product-focused engineering with technical leadership, shipping reusable components and integrations. Trained with a CS master’s from UC San Diego and a background in electrical engineering, he brings both systems thinking and hands-on optimization (e.g., Core Data performance wins from earlier mobile work). Colleagues rely on him for clean code, pragmatic automation, and the steady execution of complex cross-team projects.
