Summary
Elaine Li is an Associate AI Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack, data-driven systems that blend scalable backend architectures, SQL pipelines, and user-focused frontends. She has driven product impact—from integrating GCP BigQuery into apps serving 20,000+ active users and implementing LLM-based rubric feedback, to building dashboards and data pipelines that helped secure over $1M in funding. Comfortable across cloud migrations, A/B testing, and model experiments, Elaine has cut infrastructure costs and improved conversion and retention through pragmatic engineering and ML-informed feature rollouts. Based in Chicago and trained in Computer Science and Data Science at UW–Madison, she pairs a curiosity for how things work with a bias toward measurable outcomes and continuous learning. Notably, she often bridges the gap between technical complexity and non-technical stakeholders by turning analytics into actionable executive reports and admin tools.
