Xin Liao is a versatile senior consultant and engineer with 10+ years bridging hardware, firmware and software across consumer electronics and immersive 3D systems. He has driven glasses-free desktop 3D solutions for major OEMs and contributed backend fixes and indexing features to the high-profile Apache Doris analytics project, showing comfort across low-level drivers to distributed systems. Xin’s career arc—from reference board design and video chipset FAE to visualization, AR/MR prototyping and large-scale 3D content pipelines—gives him rare cross-domain fluency in tracking, rendering, CAD/CAE and interactive cluster projection. Based in Nanjing, he combines hands-on scripting in VTK/OCCT/Blender/Unity with product and partnership instincts, and is actively seeking managerial or partner roles where he can still review technical code. Outside work he’s a family man who plays violin and guitar, an indicator of creative problem-solving and patience that informs his engineering approach.
