Mark Li is a software engineer and data scientist from Carnegie Mellon with five years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems, data pipelines, and LLM evaluation tooling. He combines backend engineering (Python, Flask, SQL) with research-grade analysis—coauthoring a NeurIPS-accepted paper on emergent biases in medical LLM agents and quantifying demographic parity gaps across 214+ clinical scenarios. Mark has shipped production-focused automation for large open-source projects, notably creating PerfSavvy for Adoptium that cut nightly test runtimes and saved weekly machine hours, and contributing clarity and robustness to the .NET SDK CLI. His work spans scalable performance testing, data quality improvements, and automated MedQA evaluation pipelines, with a practical knack for replacing manual workflows with statistical and AI-driven solutions. Actively seeking SWE or Data Science internships, he’s drawn to high-ownership roles that blend systems design, AI safety, and human-AI interaction. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to translate research findings into operational metrics and dashboards that directly improve engineering and product decisions.
