Profile: https://flows.cv/yifanli

As a Software Engineer at Torpago, I specialize in building scalable systems with Golang, Kubernetes, and AI integration. My work includes developing RESTful APIs, designing financial ledger and settlement systems for business credit card programs, and implementing AI agent systems using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and AG-UI. I also contribute to the architecture of CI/CD pipelines and microservices infrastructures leveraging Kubernetes and AWS.  

With an academic foundation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am pursuing a Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering, and a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from KU Leuven, I focus on creating impactful solutions for distributed systems. I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge tools to design robust systems that drive innovation in the financial technology domain.
