Summary
Jinyang Li is a Senior Software Engineer in the New York City area with 11 years of experience building distributed systems and backend APIs, currently focused on Ads Infra Reporting at Spotify. He has a proven track record delivering end-to-end features and migrations — from modeling and migrating millions of database rows at Mastercard to building a latency-sensitive order executor and real-time orderbook aggregator for a crypto startup. Comfortable across Java/Kotlin, Spring, Docker, Kafka and CI/CD, he routinely improves performance and developer productivity (e.g., cutting test suites from 30 to 5 minutes and boosting p99 API latency by 20%+). A pragmatic collaborator who leads cross-team integrations, he also has hands-on experience removing staging dependencies by creating local dev environments. Outside work his GitHub handle 仙人板板 hints at a playful, curious streak that complements his engineering rigor.
