Summary
Leo Li is a founder and software engineer with 8 years' experience building large-scale infrastructure and AI systems, currently leading NemosAI to create autonomous agents that play and collaborate with humans in video games. He combines industry experience at ByteDance, Amazon, and Foursquare with hands-on research in contrastive visual place recognition and efficient transformer attention, and implemented much of the PyTorch training and tooling during his NYU research. Skilled across backend systems, data engineering, and full-stack dashboards, he has improved production observability and latency at scale (including 100k+ QPS services and 99% log-delay reductions). A high-achieving NYU CS graduate (3.94 GPA), he also preserves practical engineering habits—maintaining project repositories and shipping reusable automation tools that continue in active use.
