Top SchoolYu Liu is a Principal Software Engineer Manager based in Kirkland with a strong focus on infrastructure and machine learning, currently driving Azure Kubernetes Service at Microsoft. He brings a rare blend of research pedigree (PhD in computer vision) and hands-on cloud platform leadership from Google and Pinterest, where he grew a Kubernetes compute platform from 10 nodes to 3,000+ nodes powering company-wide ML training. Known for building federated K8s architectures and large-scale runtime systems, he excels at turning research-grade ideas into production-grade distributed infrastructure. Comfortable leading engineering teams and designing core platform components, he pairs deep systems expertise with practical delivery and mentoring. An early academic work in biometric and document-scanning ML systems hints at a long-standing interest in applied ML beyond just infrastructure.
