Horace Li is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 13 years of professional experience and a decade-plus background in Java, Kotlin, and cloud-native systems. He has delivered features and modernisations across greenfield and legacy codebases for startups, scale-ups and large corporates, including payments and high-throughput financial systems at JPMorgan and billing/payments platforms at Bumble. Skilled in distributed systems, observability and DevOps on Kubernetes and AWS, he has led migrations from monoliths to microservices, introduced Kotlin/k8s services into production, and built load generators and parallel Kafka consumers to improve resiliency.

He pairs hands-on implementation with architecture and domain expertise, often acting as primary technical contact for consultants and cross-functional teams.
