Summary
Mengjie Li is a software engineer with 9 years of experience building production systems and ML infrastructure, currently leading content creation and discovery platform work at TikTok from Mountain View. He brings deep systems and algorithmic expertise across Python, C/C++, TensorFlow, Keras, MXNet and MKL-DNN, with a track record of accelerating deep-learning primitives (e.g., MKL-DNN optimizations for MXNet) and shipping end-to-end features. Prior roles show full-stack ownership—designing Django/GraphQL backends, TypeScript/React frontends, and operational tooling that cut reconciliation time by 80% at Stockwell. He pairs research-grade performance tuning from internships at Intel and UCSD with pragmatic product delivery in fast-moving consumer and creator products. Comfortable across ML model inference, backend services, and frontend UX, he favors minimal, effective solutions—reflecting his “less is more” philosophy.
