Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHoward Li is an experienced software engineer with nine years in development and a Computer Science degree from Cal State LA. Based in Alhambra, CA, he currently works at JS Engineering where he focuses on practical, maintainable solutions across front- and back-end code. His open-source contributions include refactoring and modernizing the popular Twig.js templating library and extending a SCPI device parser with performant register handling—demonstrating comfort with both JavaScript tooling (migrating UglifyJs to Terser for ES6) and low-level device-facing C code. Howard blends long-term company experience with a knack for cleaning legacy code, improving build tooling, and enabling device-specific configurations that reduce technical debt. He is seeking roles in software engineering, development, or IT where he can continue shipping reliable, maintainable systems.
