Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHanyu Li is a senior machine learning engineer in California with eight years of experience building scalable ML systems across computer vision, ads ranking, and large-scale ML platform engineering. With a PhD in computational neuroscience, he has deployed terabyte-scale 3D segmentation pipelines on supercomputers and led distributed morphology classification work at Google that improved state-of-the-art accuracy. At ByteDance and TikTok he focused on ML platform reliability, GPU scheduling, LLM pretraining stability, and signal enrichment for conversion prediction, often shipping production-grade distributed pipelines. He combines deep theoretical grounding in neuroscience with pragmatic software engineering, making him comfortable from MPI-based HPC deployments to cloud-native GPU orchestration. A distinguishing thread in his career is translating connectomics research into production systems that scale across clusters and cloud environments.
