Built a Unity desktop application with real-time FFT audio analysis, custom shader pipelines, and multi-display output — solo, from scratch. Migrated auth from Clerk/Prisma to Supabase, integrated Stripe subscriptions, and moved sensitive API calls to Edge Functions. Currently running the product live at venues and installed as an interactive piece at Everywoman Biennial, Pen + Brush Gallery (March–April 2026).
Positioning Brief
YITING
LIU
She's not a developer who picked up some creative tools. She's someone who's shipped real-time interactive systems for Disney, ESPN, and Comcast — the kind of work that runs live in front of thousands of people and cannot crash.
She then left that track to build her own product from scratch. That combination is genuinely rare.
PROFILE
Yiting Liu builds interactive systems that work under pressure — theme park installations, live event tech for Fortune 500 brands, real-time XR at scale. Over five years she has shipped production Unity/C# across finance, entertainment, and sports, usually as the one person responsible when something breaks in front of a crowd.
In 2024 she founded Vibescape Corp and built Vibes — a music-reactive visual platform, Unity-native, deployed live at events and currently showing as an interactive installation at Pen + Brush Gallery in Manhattan. She writes the shaders, manages the Supabase backend, runs the Stripe billing, and VJs with the product herself.
She is based in Brooklyn and knows this scene from the inside.
