Zhou Liu is a versatile software engineer with eight years of experience building full-stack and distributed systems, currently working at Uber Freight after internships and roles at Amazon, Strike Technologies, and Blyss. A Northeastern CS master's student and Peking University alumnus in philosophy and logic, he blends rigorous academic research—publishing NLP work from a Harvard visiting scholar stint—with pragmatic production engineering. At Amazon he shipped a multimedia Alexa Answers feature that increased engagement and user content by 20% monthly, leveraging React, Java Spring, and DynamoDB for scalable performance. His toolkit spans Java, Python, C/C++, Go, JavaScript, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), Kafka/RabbitMQ, Docker/Kubernetes and ML frameworks, enabling end-to-end solutions from model training to CI/CD deployment. Notably, he has experience applying Bi-LSTM-CRF and BERT for historical NER tasks and turning models into user-facing services, highlighting a rare mix of NLP research and high-throughput production delivery.
