ANNIE LIAO

coder. designer. adventurer.

Hey there! I'm Annie, a software engineer with an eye for visual design and a track record of leading product initiatives from concept to launch.

My journey has been full of unexpected twists, both in life and career.

Originally from Taiwan, I moved to NYC in 2017, chasing a chance to revamp digital media products. Along the way, I discovered my love for coding, which sparked a full pivot into software engineering.

Beyond tech, I’m an adventurer at heart. In 2016, I took a trip to Europe with someone I barely knew. We fell in love. That led to a 43-day road trip across the Southern U.S. in 2017, a wedding in 2019, and navigating newlywed life during the global pandemic.

Fast forward to 2023, I became a U.S. citizen.

Looking back, the timing of it all feels surreal, and I am incredibly grateful for how everything aligned.

These days, you can find me exploring NYC's food scene, taking spontaneous adventures, and discovering hidden gems in the city. I'm savoring every step of this incredible journey, both personally and professionally.
