Top SchoolSteven Li is a Senior Engineering Manager in New York with a decade of experience turning static designs into robust web and mobile products, currently leading SEO engineering at Etsy.

Known for restoring broken systems and writing crafty regular expressions, he pairs hands-on coding with people leadership, mentoring engineers and enforcing code quality and standards. His background spans full project lifecycles from technical scoping to post-launch support, and he routinely steps in as a technical consultant when teams hit tricky roadblocks. A practical problem-solver who thrives on translating vague requirements into production-grade systems, he also values developer growth and clean, maintainable code.
