# Brandon Li > Software Engineer @ Zip Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/brandonli1 Hi! I'm Brandon, a 3rd year computer science student at UC Berkeley. I'm passionate about software engineering, and I'm always excited to learn new skills and take on fresh challenges! ✉️ brandon.li@berkeley.edu ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Zip Jan 2023 – Present ### Software Engineering Intern @ Microsoft Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Redmond, Washington, United States • Designed and implemented a generic delta sync framework for SiteMove, a scalability tool that moves sites to different databases for load balancing, that leverages SQL and app-level change tracking. • Incorporated a failed SiteMove run recovery feature using partial commits from delta sync. • Reduced customer downtime of SiteMove from up to 14 hours to a guaranteed 5 minute SLA. ### Nuro [Project Manager] @ Codebase Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 • Used React Native and GraphQL to create a kiosk for remote vehicle operators to smartly clock in and out according to their assignments for the day. • Created a test ticketing service for operators to view and request tests on vehicles using MySQL, Golang, and protobuf/gRPC. ### Addepar @ Codebase Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 • Built an efficient & scalable Entity Search microservice for Addepar to have the ability to search for financial entities based on particular criteria. • Configured templatized, repeatable deployment of AWS OpenSearch nodes using Terraform for our service. • Created a full stack web application using React + Spring Boot for interacting with our microservice. ### Keep Truckin @ Codebase Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 • Used an open-source machine learning platform called Seldon Core to create microservices for KeepTruckin's lane/vehicle detection ML models, and deployed the microservices to Kubernetes. • Implemented a multi-armed bandit epsilon-greedy router to determine the most optimal ML model (nighttime vs daytime models). • Deployed models with scalability, monitoring/analytics, and canary/blue-green strategies for components of the inference graph. ### Circle @ Codebase Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • Developed a USDC blockchain Dashboard, using Vue.js, Nuxt.js, and Ethereum/Algorand/Solana, that allows users to manage and interact with their USDC on multiple blockchain networks for Circle Internet Financial. • Supports viewing transactions & accounts, transferring USDC, and executing other privileged controls such as minting, pausing, blacklisting, etc. ### Software Engineering Intern @ Microsoft Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Redmond, Washington, United States • Improved load balancing of threads for gradual database mitosis of sites, which improved the performance and reduced customer downtime by 15%. • Implemented a data analysis service to aggregate metrics to understand data integrity issues with customer settings. Continued by designing and implementing an extendable validation framework to detect, monitor, and fix those issues. ### Software Engineering Internship @ PhET Interactive Simulations, University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 Lead developer for interactive physics simulation Collision Lab. Implemented core simulation features, including a non-discrete physics engine utilizing a bisection root finder, and varying elasticity collisions in multiple dimensions that conform to the conservation of linear and angular momentum. ### Software Engineering Internship @ PhET Interactive Simulations, University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | United States Worked on the implementation and improvement of the interactive math simulation titled Vector Addition. Converted simulation from Java flash player app to HTML5 and Vanilla Javascript to achieve higher accessibility. Added features to help with the visualization of adding and subtracting vectors, including the addition of a draggable origin, vector equations, vector components, and much more. ### Team Lead @ Fairview Web Team Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | United States Leader of school's Web Team, a student-run organization that maintains and update the Fairview High School website in Ruby On Rails. Written in Ruby on Rails and containing over 300,000+ lines of code and nearly 5,000 commits. Served over 10,000+ weekly page views from parents, students, and staff. ### Developer @ Fairview Web Team Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | United States ## Education ### Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 ### High School Diploma Fairview High School Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/brandon-w-li - Website: https://brandonwli.com/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/brandonli1 JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/brandonli1/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
