Summary
Timmy Li is a software engineer with eight years of experience building high-performance systems, currently contributing to Ocient’s database engine and new data types in C++. He maintains database drivers across Java (JDBC), C++ (ODBC), and Python (PyOcient) and has implemented tooling for query extraction and S3 integration, blending systems programming with practical data engineering. His background spans research and finance—authoring Python wrappers for C++ spatio-temporal modeling at UChicago Medicine and working on low-latency trading systems—so he brings both rigorous analytical skills and production-grade performance tuning. A lifelong learner who seeks mentorship from more experienced engineers, he pairs a strong academic foundation in economics, mathematics, and a master’s in computer science with hands-on expertise in C++, Java, Python, ANTLR, and protobuf.
