Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZheng Li is a technology veteran and Co-Founder/CTO with a decade of experience building high-performance AI systems and GPU-optimized software from seed-stage startups to industry leaders. He combines deep compiler, parallel computing, and GPU virtualization expertise (including a patent from Bitfusion) with hands-on work optimizing deep learning training and inference on NVIDIA hardware. At Myko AI he applies that technical rigor to turn messy enterprise inputs into context-aware, production-grade AI workflows that ship with performance SLAs and a customer-first iterative approach. Previously he led platform and core engineering at Helm.ai and NVIDIA, starting platform teams and replacing legacy compiler codebases to materially improve throughput. Currently an MBA candidate at Columbia Business School, he uniquely pairs low-level systems mastery with emerging product and business strategy skills. Based in Austin, he also runs Smart Highlights, applying computer vision to scale personalized sports highlights—an unusual side project that underscores his appetite for applied, product-focused ML.
