Armin Li is a product leader and AI founder with 10 years of experience building ML-driven products across startups and large tech firms. As co-founder and CEO of askGenie, he led engineering and product teams to deliver multimodal AI assistants leveraging NLP and computer vision, and now applies that product rigor as Product Manager at Alibaba International. His background combines a master's in computer science from ShanghaiTech and hands-on research experience at Baidu’s Institute of Deep Learning, including early contributions to the PaddlePaddle open-source ecosystem. He published on cross-lingual dependency parser adaptation at EMNLP 2020 and brings a rare mix of academic publication, startup grit, and VC fellowship exposure. Fluent in both technical execution and go-to-market strategy, he is motivated by building high-impact, scalable products that make AI accessible across languages and domains. An underappreciated detail: his early awards in math and synthetic biology hint at a cross-disciplinary curiosity that informs his product instincts.
