Summary
Yepeng Li is an algorithm engineer based in Beijing with 8 years of experience building ML-driven systems for large-scale social platforms. At Weibo he designed core components of a next-generation content moderation stack, combining traditional BERT pipelines with fine-tuned LLMs (Qwen, DeepSeek), RAG and parameter-efficient tuning to double precision and cut reaction time to a quarter. He also architected vector/relation data workflows using Milvus, MongoDB and optimized ETL to support moderation and retweet analysis that reduced operational workload by 40%. Trained in Data Science (MS, University of San Francisco) and Cognitive Science (UC San Diego), he blends human-centered insight with production ML engineering. Known as a "Hello world engineer" on GitHub, he enjoys turning research ideas into pragmatic tools that scale in messy, real-world environments.
