Senior🎓
Top SchoolDenis Li is a software engineer based in Berkeley, California, building scalable systems at Google after four years leading misinformation and support tooling at Facebook. He brings 11 years of hands-on experience across backend infrastructure, real-time data pipelines, and production tooling—having shipped Kafka/Spark streaming analytics, Chef automation, and UI infrastructure that materially improved rating accuracy and operational agility. At Facebook he led cross-functional efforts (privacy, legal, ops) to ensure EU compliance and drove metrics-driven improvements that impacted revenue and customer retention. A UC Berkeley EECS student who started in lab research and hardware support, Denis combines experimental rigor with production-grade engineering. He’s known for translating complex policy and operational requirements into reliable, auditable software and for thriving on fast feedback loops during high-stakes events like elections. Colleagues describe him as eager to learn, deeply collaborative, and unusually comfortable bridging research-grade analysis with large-scale product constraints.
