Hi, I'm Kaven Liu

I turn ambiguous problems into working software, and make sure it holds up under real conditions.

I'm a Computer Science graduate from the University of Toronto, specialized in Software Engineering, with experience across the stack: frontend, backend, and the tooling and infrastructure work in between. That range means I gravitate toward the messier problems: the half-finished spec, the platform that doesn't behave the way the docs say it should, the script that fails silently at 2am. I'm comfortable working with designers, clients, and non-technical stakeholders to turn a rough idea into something real, and I pick up new tools quickly when the project calls for it. I know the difference between being stuck and being slow, so I know when to dig in and when to ask for help. And once something works, I care about the part that's easy to skip: accessibility, real-world performance, and leaving things better documented than I found them.
