Hi!

My name is William Liu (刘胥飞/劉胥飛/류서비). I am a software engineer, computer scientist, and cognitive scientist.

My current “life’s mission” is to make health and healthcare available and financially accessible for the average American.

To that end I am building a digital health + fintech startup.

I am currently based in San Francisco, and am originally from Madison, Wisconsin.

Professional

Currently, I am building a digital health + fintech startup.

Previously, I was an Machine Learning Engineer II at Amazon Search. And before that I was the Founding Engineer at Trainwell, a remote personal training and wellness startup, where I did a bit of everything.

Generally, I am very passionate about health and healthcare, and love working on messy and complex system design.

Academic

I received my Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science with a minor in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University. While at CMU, I had the pleasure to do research with Saugata Ghose on Computer Architecture and Operating Systems for the majority of my undergraduate career.

I also completed graduate course work in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin. I worked with professor Amy Pavel on some Human-AI Interaction research while I was there.

Generally I enjoy topics in parallel systems, compilers, and Human-AI interaction.

Personal

Outside of my professional and academic interests I’m also passionate about tricking, esports, anime and manga, and filmmaking.

I also love languages. Recently I’ve been learning Japanese in my free time so that I can watch anime without subtitles.

You can find blog posts with detailed descriptions of my projects here. I also try my best to put my projects up on GitHub and keep them updated, but we all know that is rarely true :’)
