Top SchoolSan Li is a JVM architect and Java Champion with roots in runtime and compiler engineering dating back to 2004, currently leading Alibaba's customized OpenJDK (Alibaba JDK) and GC/performance optimization efforts at Alipay. He previously led JVM multi-tenancy development at IBM and has a track record of shipping low-level VM features, tooling, and performance work across large-scale enterprise products.
