Summary
Chenlong Li is a software engineer and MS in Operations Research candidate at Columbia University with eight years of experience blending data engineering, optimization modeling, and product-focused software development across telecommunications, logistics, and urban mobility. He has built end-to-end data pipelines and SQL-driven analyses of ride-hailing systems, developed CO₂-minimizing MILP routing models in Gurobi, and implemented full-stack components in Python and C++. Comfortable moving between hands-on coding and quantitative modeling, Chenlong has also supported product development and client-facing requirements at scale in roles at ZTE and China Mobile. He’s seeking full-time roles in data science, ML/AI engineering, or technical product development where his mix of analytical rigor and practical engineering can reduce complexity and drive measurable operational impact. An uncommon strength: he pairs optimization research with production-minded engineering to translate mathematical solutions into deployable systems.
