Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhongyang Liu is a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft with a decade of experience building large-scale distributed systems, particularly in web crawling, index generation, and OneDrive/SharePoint throttling. A UCLA dual-degree graduate in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, he has repeatedly delivered pragmatic designs that improve test automation, code reuse, and scalability—most notably a WebView test framework adopted across Office web add-ins. His work on Bing’s index pipeline involved scheduling billions of URLs with low latency and integrating multi-region serverless components and Kafka partition management. He combines applied ML experience from internship projects (fastText, neural classifiers, and feature selection) with strong backend engineering across Java, Python, and cloud deployments. Outside of work he races, plays clarinet, and is an avid ping-pong and hot pot enthusiast, reflecting a mix of technical focus and hands-on curiosity.
