Top SchoolJoe Li is a senior engineering manager and startup founder with 12 years of experience building product-led teams and shipping at-scale software from early-stage YC startups to a major platform at Roblox. He combines hands-on engineering roots from Cisco and Location Labs with repeated CTO responsibilities at two startups, giving him a pragmatic comfort with both product strategy and deep technical delivery. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he excels at scaling teams and systems through rapid growth and evolving requirements, often translating ambiguous product needs into measurable roadmaps.
