Senior🎓
Top SchoolWai-ho Li is an engineering manager and applied R&D leader with 12 years of experience building production computer vision and ML systems, currently driving codec avatar and ML efficiency initiatives at Meta in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has a rare combination of deep academic pedigree (PhD in Computer Vision and Robotics) and hands-on product delivery, shipping features like hand/body tracking to Instagram and Facebook and contributing to Quest and Portal vision capabilities. Skilled at taking 0-to-1 prototypes into scalable pipelines, he designs data collection, annotation, evaluation and ML + data pipeline APIs while optimizing latency, node performance and cluster utilization. His work routinely converts research into patents, papers and live demos, and he’s comfortable bridging SW-HW co-design with system and hardware partners. An unexpected strength is his long track record across industry and academia—from bionic eye research and embedded vision to consumer AR—that informs pragmatic, high-impact solutions.
