Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTung-ling Li is a Principal AI Researcher based in Berkeley with 14 years of experience building production-grade ML systems and automation across enterprise and research settings. He blends deep research in adversarial ML, LLM robustness, and hybrid CNN-Transformer architectures with hands-on MLOps and inference engineering that have driven measurable throughput and latency gains in production. At Palo Alto Networks he translated novel vulnerabilities and red-teaming research into operational products and engineered multi-backend inference platforms and continuous training pipelines. Earlier roles at Merck and Asurion showcase his strength in applied analytics, ETL, and automations that saved hundreds of hours monthly and improved market forecasting accuracy. A UC Berkeley MEng in Operations Research graduate and former GSI, he’s comfortable mentoring engineers while shipping scalable model-agnostic solutions. Beyond typical ML work, he has a track record of combining semantic clustering with LLM agents for large-scale data discovery—an approach that hints at his appetite for pragmatic, systems-level innovation.
