About
Hi, I'm Gordon Liao
I'm a senior software engineer based in Calgary, Alberta, with 8+ years of experience building and shipping software — from healthcare IoT platforms to high-volume payment systems and large-scale government services.
I enjoy turning messy problems into clean, dependable systems, and I've led small teams to deliver products that reach millions of users. I care about craftsmanship, clear thinking, and shipping things that genuinely help people.
