Ru-Jun (Jo) Liao
Taipei · Vancouver, BC · sninjo657@gmail.com · linkedin.com/in/sninjoI'm a Software Engineer with strong experience in full-stack development, microservice architecture, and software automation. I enjoy solving technical challenges, staying up to date with new technologies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions. I like wearing multiple hats and am interested in the entire software development lifecycle, from planning and design to implementation and maintenance. I believe that change favors the prepared mind, and I enjoy the process of turning ideas into reality.
Over the past few years, I've built reliable systems across web and cloud platforms, from designing authentication flows to optimizing deployment pipelines. These experiences sparked my passion for infrastructure, automation, and system reliability, which now guide my long-term focus toward DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering.
