Mao Li is a Senior Data Platform Engineer with 20+ years of engineering experience and a decade focused on reliability and data platforms across New Zealand. He has led cloud migrations and platform builds—from configuring multi-workspace Databricks on AWS with Terraform to architecting multi-tenant SageMaker platforms—bridging hands-on implementation with cross-functional security and network integration. Comfortable across Unix/Linux, Java, databases and infrastructure-as-code, he has a track record of reviving legacy systems while enabling modern ML and GenAI teams. His background spans Fortune-scale teams (IBM, Westpac) to fast-moving data engineering shops, giving him a rare blend of deep systems troubleshooting and strategic platform design. A Postgraduate Diploma from AUT complements a practical career habit of turning complex operational requirements into automated, production-ready solutions.
