Hi, I’m Jiashun Li. I’m a software engineer with a strong background in full-stack development, fintech, and gaming platforms from companies like DraftKings and startup teams. I earned an M.Eng in Computer Science from Cornell Tech and a B.A. in CS & Economics from Vanderbilt, and I enjoy turning ideas into reliable, scalable software. I thrive on cross-functional collaboration, building robust APIs, and delivering value through well-tested, automated pipelines. When I'm not coding, I love exploring new technologies, mentoring peers, and contributing to research through the STIR Lab.
