Zhe Liu
Data Engineering & Analytics Leader @ Meta
About
I lead the data engineering team for AI coding effectiveness. Translation: I help team figure out whether tools like Claude Code, Codex, and internal LLM tooling actually make engineers faster - and which patterns of use create real leverage. Before Meta, I was at AWS leading Product Analytics for product teams across Serverless and Container services (Lambda, ECS, EKS, Streaming) - building canonical datasets, product data marts, and self-serve analytics on the AWS Lakehouse stack. Before that, at Asurion building a 30-person Products & Data organization and shipping a B2B analytics SaaS for 50,000+ retail associates. Themes that show up across everything I've worked on: product-centric data engineering, partnering with DS/PM/Eng on shared metrics, scaling teams in messy environments, and making data trustworthy enough that people will base actual decisions on it. If you're working on data infrastructure, AI tooling measurement, or analytics at scale and want to compare notes - I'd love to talk shop.
