About Me 🙋‍♂️

Daniel Liem

Results-driven software engineer who believes that consistent, daily improvements is the key to accomplishing great things



- Completed my degree in Aerospace Engineering at the best university in China, taught in Mandarin Chinese (my third language!)

- Worked as an aviation industry consultant specializing in noise modeling, sound insulation, and data analysis

- Currently building the future of aviation at Archer, where I:
1) Solo built a patent-pending configuration management system and full-stack website
2) Create interactive iPad lab interfaces using the Unreal game engine
3) Develop mixed-reality flight simulators

I'm currently seeking new opportunities and connections that match with my core values. I'm looking for a company that has conviction in their mission and cares about innovation for the sake of helping others. I'm adaptable, a great team player, willing to lead, and care deeply about the quality of my work.

"Daniel stood out as a top student who is curious, adaptable, and quick to learn"

Daniel was a top student at App Academy. Despite having no prior background in software engineering, Daniel quickly mastered the material and achieved a perfect score on every assessment. He stood out as very self-motivated and built both of his full-stack web applications from the ground up with little guidance. Beyond academics, Daniel is funny and relatable, and was always cracking up the other students. I would highly recommend him for any software engineering team.

"He radiates a positive, energetic aura that makes those around him more motivated"

Daniel is a must-have on your team as he is an incredibly fun, smart, empathetic leader. Not only is he knowledgeable in all things related to computer science, but he is also very adaptable in learning new technologies quickly. It was an honor to work alongside Daniel because not only does he give it his all in any project he's assigned, but he also radiates a positive, energetic aura that makes those around him more motivated and disciplined. He is a great full-stack software engineer and a better human being. I can't wait to see where his talents and work ethic will take him next.
