Liu Tao
Software engineer / Product builder
I’m Liu Tao, also known as Nickname4th. I am a software engineer and product builder, currently working in AI education.
Previously at
ByteDance /
Alibaba Cloud /
Intel
as a software / senior frontend engineer. My work has focused on frontend engineering, product experience, and developer productivity.
I also build and maintain my own tools. Recent projects explore remote coding-agent workspaces, mobile-device automation, on-device voice input, and self-hosted deployment.
I enjoy working across the whole product: the interface people use, the systems behind it, and the details that make it reliable in everyday use.

Technical focus
My recent work uses TypeScript, React, Vue, Expo / React Native, Swift, Python, and Go. I use Docker and Nomad for self-hosted services.
Current interests
I am exploring how AI can support learning and everyday development: working with real devices, giving useful feedback, and helping people turn an idea into something they can try.
