Technology architecture, built from engineering.
I’m Wen Liu, a Lead Engineer in Auckland working across cloud, data, integration and AI. I turn complex enterprise problems into architecture that teams can understand, govern and deliver.
Business intent, technical decisions, governance and delivery brought into one coherent direction.
My point of view
Strategy without delivery becomes a slide. Delivery without architecture becomes debt. The value is in connecting both.
What I help make possible
Not a list of services. A set of outcomes I repeatedly work toward.
Cloud-native platforms, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code and CI/CD - introduced through transition paths that respect security and operations.
APIs, events and reusable integration patterns across modern and legacy systems.
Guardrails, ownership, lifecycle controls and reusable patterns for data and AI platforms.
I use decision models, visual stories and pragmatic language to help technical and non-technical people align on the same direction.
Selected architecture stories
Governed data & machine learning platform
Shape project boundaries, workload patterns, access controls and lifecycle governance so teams can build with speed without losing oversight.
Enable data wrangling and ML across domains while preserving ownership, security and enterprise alignment.
Use governed profiles, standard blueprints, account boundaries and repeatable workload patterns.
Experience
More than a decade moving between data, integration, customer platforms, cloud engineering and architecture.
Cloud modernisation, behavioural data platforms, governed AI/ML capability, platform guardrails and architecture leadership in a regulated environment.
Created a secure cloud integration foundation, shaped MuleSoft delivery practices and modernised enterprise application connectivity.
Led customer-platform modernisation across Marketo, CRM, mobile, billing and data, enabling personalised and event-driven customer journeys.
Built data pipelines, presentation models and reporting foundations across Teradata and enterprise BI environments.
The architecture notebook
A future home for diagrams, decision notes and practical explanations. The first three themes are already taking shape.
Beyond the architecture
Hiking creates distance from complexity. Home automation satisfies the need to tinker. DIY and woodworking keep problem-solving physical, imperfect and real.
Long trails. Clearer thinking.
Small systems, immediate feedback.
Design becomes tangible.
Connect
I enjoy exchanging ideas about cloud platforms, data architecture, integration, AI governance and the practical craft of enterprise delivery.
