This is Tao Li, a tinker between models and machines, building things that see, think, and always learn faster than I do. More professionally, I’m a machine learning engineer working on distributed training, generative models, and 3D vision.

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Purdue University, advised by Prof. Chris Clifton, where I built privacy-preserving vision systems and tried to keep machines busy but not nosy.

Mostly just trying to make things work.
