Summary
Yi Liao is a Technical Program Manager with 8+ years of focused experience leading large-scale cloud and distributed systems programs across Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and AWS. He combines end-to-end program ownership with hands-on engineering—having contributed substantial architecture and code (including 50% of a Hadoop-based analytics engine) for mission-critical services. His work spans IaaS/PaaS/SaaS initiatives such as EC2 re-architecture (“Gunpowder”), Linux App Service growth at Azure, VMware Cloud on AWS, and e-commerce ordering decoupling at Amazon. Comfortable both in the planning room and on-call, he bridges product, operations, and engineering to deliver resilient, scalable platforms. Known for scaling Linux App Service 10x in under two years, he brings a pragmatic mix of BI, Java, SQL, NoSQL and containerization expertise. Based in Greater Seattle, he prefers rolling up his sleeves—because for him, "coding is easy" is more than a tagline, it’s a mindset.
