Summary
Mengtong Li is a software engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience building scalable web and image-analytics systems, currently contributing to Siemens Energy’s camera-based monitoring platform. A Columbia MS in Computer Science, she blends backend expertise in Python and Java with cloud-native services (AWS S3, RDS, Lambda) and streaming architectures (Kafka) to deliver robust, production-ready solutions. Her internships and roles show a pattern of measurable impact—40% faster DB queries at SICK, 99.9% uptime on deployed services, and a chatbot that drove 50+ conversions for GoValley. Comfortable across microservices, REST APIs, and embedded systems, she also prototypes hardware-in-the-loop instrumentation with Arduino and MATLAB. Colleagues describe her as people-focused and collaborative, balancing rigorous testing and monitoring with pragmatic engineering trade-offs. Based in Houston, she’s seeking opportunities to join diverse teams where she can translate data-driven ideas into reliable product features.
