About Me
Yunxiao Liu

Hello, I am a final year Computer Engineering student at the University of British Columbia, focusing mainly on software engineering. During my time in school, I have taken a variety of courses related to software development, machine learning, databases, and operating systems. These courses have allowed me to gain exposure to multiple programming languages and technologies, and build a strong foundation in skills essential to software engineering. I have also completed many side projects over the years, both independently and as part of a team, such as MoodSense, an AI-enhanced journaling app, and Flowleaflets, a streamlined transcription tool for medical logbooks.
When I am not malding over school or work, I enjoy a variety of hobbies, from playing video games and watching anime to hiking and skiing. I've recently switched over to Arch Linux, and as a result I have developed some interest in tinkering with operating systems. I also enjoy travelling, and am currently planning a second trip to Japan this December after thoroughly enjoying my experience in the country last year.
Some of the tools and technologies I like to work with include:
- Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C/C++
- Frameworks: React, React Native, Sveltekit, NextJS, Flask
- Databases: MongoDB, GraphQL, OracleDB, PostgreSQL
- Cloud: AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Cloudfront, ElastiCache
- Data & ML: PyTorch, Tensorflow, scikit-learn, NumPy, pandas
I am currently interested in learning more about AI and LLMs, and incorporating agentic tools into my workflow. I am currently seeking full-time opportunities for after I graduate in April 2026, so any advice, referrals, or tips would be welcome!
