Summary
Xiaocong Li is a software engineer with a decade of experience building high-throughput backend systems and data pipelines, currently working on recommendation systems at NewsBreak. He has three years of web service development in Go and Python and two years focused on big-data processing with Flink and Spark, backed by hands-on experience with Kafka, Hive, MySQL and Redis at scale. At ByteDance he helped run content platforms handling millions of queries per second and led the development of a general online KV storage service; at Hulu he optimized Flink jobs and built reliable real-time/offline ad delivery pipelines. Comfortable in English-only, distributed teams, he pairs strong production engineering (Docker, AWS, Terraform, Jenkins) with a pragmatic eye for performance tuning—using techniques like in-operator aggregation and flame-graph analysis to reduce checkpoint size and improve throughput.
