Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Li is a Senior Software Engineer and two-time co-founder with 11 years of experience building mobile-first products and logistics platforms from Vancouver. He has led end-to-end development — shipping React dashboards, Kotlin Android apps, and Node.js backends — and scaled systems to handle high-concurrency logistics workloads using PostgreSQL and Redis. At Nuport he architected route optimization, multi-carrier integrations, and real-time analytics that cut client planning time by up to 85%, and at Loop Freight he established CI/CD, hiring, and agile processes that doubled feature velocity. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and technical leader, he mixes hands-on implementation with product thinking to turn ambiguous business problems into shipping software. Outside work he describes himself as a creator at heart, suggesting a playful, experimental approach to projects that drive user engagement.
