Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDawei Li is a Principal Research Engineer and seasoned engineering manager with 10+ years building full-stack, data- and ML-focused platforms at scale. He led cross-functional teams at Microsoft’s AzureML AI Platform to deliver React-based Studio experiences and microservices for ML job authoring, experiment tracking, AutoML and hyperparameter tuning, and now drives research engineering at Talkdesk. Hands-on by trade, he combines deep systems and data-pipeline expertise—optimizing caching, partitioning and low-latency services—with a track record of turning internal analytics tools into product-grade features (one was later folded into PowerBI). Dawei is known for growing high-performing teams through technical mentorship and pragmatic architecture choices that balance scalability with reliability. Based in Bellevue, WA, he brings a strong legacy of improving compute efficiency (reducing cache and compute costs by double digits) and shipping observable, user-facing tooling for ML practitioners. His background in automation and long tenure across large enterprise systems give him a rare blend of research mindset and production rigor.
