Yang Liu is a founder and engineering leader with 11 years building scalable web services and data pipelines across startups and mid-size companies, currently splitting leadership roles between Faire and his new venture, Mighty Moose. He brings deep full-stack experience—especially Ruby, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Rails and Angular—and a practical approach to architecture, data ingestion, storage, partitioning and autoscaling from projects that handled large-scale data. Having co-founded and run engineering at small teams, he combines hands-on coding with hiring, product planning and shifting development methodologies to match evolving requirements. Based in Vancouver with academic roots in China and Canada, he pairs a lifelong fascination with algorithms and complex logic with a penchant for solving messy real-world problems. Off the clock he recharges on mountain hikes and NBA games, a reminder that his engineering curiosity is balanced by a taste for outdoor challenge and teamwork.
