About

Portrait of Liang Tian

I focus on turning complex technologies into products and services that are practical, usable, and ready for the real world.

My experience spans interaction technology, service systems, autonomous driving, smart hardware, and robotics, enabling me to connect engineering execution, user experience, and real-world operations. From autonomous delivery to mass-produced smart hardware, I care not only about how products are designed, but also how they perform in practice.

“Making technology work better for real people and real life.”
