Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMina Li is a software engineering leader with 12 years of experience building and scaling distributed systems and developer-facing tooling across ad tech and SaaS. Currently leading engineering at ThousandEyes (Cisco), she previously grew and shepherded compute and developer-experience teams at Zendesk through acquisitions, reorganizations, and cross-team integrations. Her hands-on background spans high-throughput RTB systems at TubeMogul/Adobe—optimizing services that handled billions of auctions per day—to architecting Kubernetes-friendly developer workflows and deprecating legacy systems to improve reliability and testability. Mina combines people leadership (hiring, onboarding, mission-setting) with deep technical delivery—automating on-call processes, driving quotas/capping refactors, and cutting warmup times by half. Based in California and grounded in a CS degree from UC Berkeley, she brings an unusual blend of operational rigor and an artistic curiosity about how technology shapes human-centered experiences.
