Shih-Ming (Peter) Liu
Over 7 years of IT industry experience | Experienced in leadership roles as Director and CTO across three startups.
Hey, I’m Peter. My journey with technology began at 15 with my first job, followed by self-learning coding and various computer-related skills online. I also possess strong business acumen, founding two software development and technology companies, where I honed management, communication, collaboration, and decision-making skills. After relocating to Melbourne in 2019, I identified a market gap in online shopping, prompting me to establish SHOPMY and assume the crucial role of Chief Technology Officer while pursuing part-time university studies.
