Tao Chun Liu is an international speaker, trainer, and project delivery practitioner working at the intersection of AI, Agile, and business analysis.

Mira is a Staff Security/Software Engineer at a unicorn-stage SaaS company running on Microsoft Azure in a multi-cloud environment. As one of the ten architects responsible for both software and security architecture, he shapes the trajectory of a platform built on .NET - from the monolith that carries the business to the emerging microservices that will define its future, while being actively engaged in both business and technical guidance during M&A events.

By day, I navigate the tension between shipping fast and shipping safe across a product surface that now includes LLM-powered features. By night (and early morning, and weekends), I build games, convenience apps, and small tools using every conventional and unconventional AI coding assistant I can get his hands on (I used to do small scoped projects prior to the AI era as well) and I have the experience as both a hobby and a long-running field study in what these tools actually produce.

I speak from the intersection of architecture, security, culture, and hands-on making. I have some production scars, real side-project joy, and very few slides with stock photos.
