Mike Ling is a Site Reliability Engineering Manager with 13 years of experience building and operating resilient infrastructure across companies like Meituan and Agora. He combines deep networking knowledge (Cisco/Huawei switches and routers) with hands-on SRE and DevOps practice, and has led teams to improve reliability at scale. An active open-source contributor, he has made notable back-end and tooling contributions to Mozilla projects like Treeherder and perf tooling, and implemented performance-sensitive KNN solvers for the Shogun ML toolbox during a Google Summer of Code. Based in Jiangxi, China, he balances leadership with coding—often diving into Python, C++ and system-level optimizations—and brings a practical focus on maintainability and performance from research-grade ML libraries to production CI systems.
