Evan Liang

Hi, I'm Evan

and I'm a quirky fellow. I started programming for fun when I was 14, and bringing my imagination to life still brings me great joy.

I have an insatiable curiosity for how things work and I take great pride in my drive to constantly learn and try new things.

When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably chowing down on delicious foods, playing strategic board/card games, or being with my amazing wife.

Top (technical) skills

Creation

I love taking ideas and turning them into reality.

Automation

I am constantly seeking opportunities to automate parts of my life, oftentimes with web scraping.

Functional Programming

With FP, my code tends to be more concise and easier to reason about. That enables me to be more efficient and focus on the big picture.

Virtual Reality

It won't be until at least 2018, but my next big goal will be to get into VR and Unity
