About

My name is Dennis Li and I am currently a software engineer at Amazon AWS on the API Gateway team. I graduated from UCLA in June 2024 with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering. I am passionate about all things tech-related and have a profound interest towards software development and more specifically machine learning and AI. I believe that my past internship and leadership experiences have help set me up for success and I plan on getting more exposed to the software industry.
