About Jon Liu

Software development • Ottawa, ON

My name is Jon Liu.

I’m a coder based in Ottawa, Ontario, with diverse software development experience learned from personal hobby projects and work. This includes communicating with embedded devices over Bluetooth, serving web app requests with a REST API, and collecting and processing large amounts of data.

I’m also a full-time Linux user and have been for several years now. My first experience with operating systems other than Windows was Ubuntu 8.04, back in 2008, from a free mail-order CD. These days, I daily drive Fedora, but still use Ubuntu frequently.

Photography

I enjoy photography as a hobby. Everywhere I go, I try to take a photo of at least one intresting thing.

Fun fact: I’ve taken photos of the benches at each metro station in Montreal. Almost every station has its own unique bench design.
