Summary
Chengwei Li is a Senior Software Engineer in Seattle with 11 years of experience building distributed systems and large-scale data platforms across Amazon and Uber. He helped process petabyte-scale S3 object telemetry and launched features like Intelligent-Tiering while at Amazon, and now applies that systems and data expertise to high-throughput services at Uber. Trained in computational science (Georgia Tech) after an engineering foundation in China, he blends rigorous modeling with practical production engineering—often operating where analytics, Spark pipelines, and backend reliability meet. Past work includes automated QA and large-scale log processing using Spark, Hive, Oozie, and CI tooling, showing a consistent focus on operationalizing data-driven insights. Colleagues would note his knack for turning complex, at-scale problems into maintainable pipelines and cost-aware product features.
