# Kevin Li > Founding Engineer @ SynapSeek | AI & Neuroscience Convergence | Stanford CS Location: Syosset, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kevinli3 AI systems are busy reinventing the wheel while the brain has been optimizing the most sophisticated OS for millions of years. What if we kept pursuing the brain's source code? That's the question driving my work in the neurotech ecosystem. Stanford gifted me with bright technical flashlights to illuminate the path ahead, but I'm most curious about what's lurking in the shadows. I'm drawn to those uncharted territories that push the limits of possibility. Always open to connecting with fellow explorers :) ## Work Experience ### Founding Engineer @ SynapSeek Jan 2025 – Present ### Software and AI Engineer @ Astute Crew LLC Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area - [Under NDA] Conducting research, collecting data, and currently creating AI-based diagnostic tools. ### Venture Intern @ Chaanakya Capital Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area - Maintaining and updating website, transcribing blog posts, covering conference and event details, conducting due diligence, and actively seeking out new fundraising opportunities. ### Software and AI Engineer @ Kaya AI Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | New York, New York, United States - Extracted semantic mappings in Python from drawings or schedules using PyTesseract and OpenCV, integrating them into a document annotation pipeline queried from a TypeScript chatbot interface. - Created agentic LLM workflows in n8n to generate SQL queries, execute them in PostgreSQL, and combine the results with detailed schemas to automate procurement responses. ### Backend Engineer @ Astute Crew LLC Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area - Developed query parsing logic and JSON web token authentication for a produce exchange app that used a MongoDB and FastAPI backend with a TypeScript frontend. - Implemented algorithmic filters, including regex-based, temporal, spatial, and Gale-Shapley matching for optimal pairwise routing. ## Education ### MS in CS (AI) Stanford University Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 ### BS in CS (Visual Computing) Stanford University Jan 2021 – Jan 2025 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kevin-li-cs --- Source: https://flows.cv/kevinli3 JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kevinli3/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
