He has taken roles supporting pacemaker & ICD systems, MRI product development, and supervising manufacturing assembly lines for the global supply of pacemaker leads.

Li attended UCLA and received a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's in Systems Engineering. He lives in the Bay Area and in his free time enjoys snowboarding, rock-climbing, and attempting to learn "Sweet Home Alabama" on the guitar (with little success).
