--- title: "About" date: 2025-12-19T22:46:12-08:00 draft: false --- Hi, I'm **Eric Liu**. I am a **Staff Software Engineer and Tech Lead Manager (TLM)** at **Google**, based in Sunnyvale, CA. My work focuses on **Platforms Performance and Customer Engineering**, specifically for **GPUs and TPUs**. I lead teams that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI hardware and the latest ML models (like Gemini), ensuring optimal performance and reliability at Google Cloud scale. Beyond the code, I maintain this "digital garden" where I document my projects and learnings. It serves as my second brain, capturing everything from technical deep dives to random musings. ### Personal Interests I'm a tinkerer at heart, whether digital or physical: * **Homelab**: Kubernetes, Proxmox, and self-hosted services. I love over-engineering my home network. * **DIY & Jeep**: Maintaining and modifying my Jeep, and general DIY projects. * **Cooking**: experimenting with new recipes and techniques. Welcome to my corner of the internet.
