Summary
Xiao Li is a software engineer with 12 years of experience who now builds agentic systems for YouTube Ads at Google, focusing on distributed systems, Kubernetes on GCP, LangGraph, and scalable microservices. Previously at Tencent and through internships at Haixia Bank and KPMG, Xiao designed production-grade LLM distillation and inference optimizations that cut inference costs ~5× and improved latency and GPU utilization while maintaining high accuracy. He blends ML-driven feature pipelines, robust observability, and workflow scheduling—shipping end-to-end solutions that handle millions of daily requests with sub-0.01% failure rates. A Carnegie Mellon master’s student with a background in data science, he’s equally comfortable coding Python backends and instrumenting large-scale MLOps, and has a track record of turning research prototypes into reliable production systems.
