Aaron Li is a Senior Software Development Engineer based in Auckland, New Zealand, with six years of industry experience and a strong background in AI and performance engineering. At Workday he has progressed through SDE II/III to a senior role, driving scalable, production-grade systems and bringing research-driven rigor from a PhD at the University of Auckland. He blends deep engineering craft—particularly in performance optimization and agentic AI leadership—with practical delivery in large enterprise settings. His earlier work in test automation at Jupl underpins a disciplined approach to quality and reproducible systems engineering. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic researcher-engineer who translates complex academic insights into measurable product improvements. He’s equally comfortable tuning low-level performance bottlenecks as he is shaping higher-level AI features for business impact.
