Zhihao Li is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience, currently building generative AI products for NotebookLM at Google after five years driving full-stack and ML-powered systems for YouTube Ads Brand Safety. He blends production-grade full-stack development with applied ML, computer vision, graphics, and data visualization—skills honed while integrating WebGL and multi-threaded WASM into Google Earth and optimizing GPU shader pipelines. Zhihao has led policy infrastructure evolutions, human computation experiments, and ground-truth quality efforts at scale, and earlier built lab automation and cost-reducing microfluidic prototypes in research settings. Comfortable across C++, JavaScript, C#, and ML stacks, he balances deep technical craftsmanship with product-facing delivery in Mountain View. An uncommon thread through his career is shipping high-performance visual and experimental systems that bridge hardware, real-time rendering, and large-scale data workflows.
