Summary
Yijian Liu is a Senior Software Developer and PhD-trained computer scientist (data management systems) with eight years of software engineering experience and an expected PhD completion in August 2024. He builds cloud-native, distributed systems and has hands-on experience implementing a transaction processing system on Microsoft Orleans with C#/.NET and AWS—an open-source project available as Snapper-Orleans. At Denominator he delivered 30+ tasks and led two major projects (LLM integration and a Job Execution Engine), demonstrating an ability to move research-grade systems into production. His background spans backend development, system design, and data engineering, informed by university teaching and conference organization roles that sharpened his communication and collaboration skills. Based in Copenhagen, he is seeking permanent roles as a backend developer, software architect, or data engineer where academic rigor meets practical impact. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of turning complex distributed research prototypes into deployable cloud services.
