About William Li

https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamwaipingli

I know something about a lot of areas and a lot about some areas, which supports me in building large systems with multiple teams.

As a Product Manager, I have worked on the entire fulfillment chain, from ideation to market. I have resurrected a dead product into a $1M/yr one.

As a Director of Engineering, I have led the development and launch of a scalable SaaS B2B platform delivering multiple cloud products from analytics to compute-intensive PDF processing, using modern technologies such as Kubernetes and Azure IoT to provide a seamless experience for customer users, internal service, and accounting. I drove the architecture and the steady adoption of Agile processes across multiple teams located around the world. I’ve been successfully leading remote software engineering teams for the past 20 years.

As a Technology Manager, I cross the boundaries — software algorithms, human bio-psychology, hard physics of optics — I’ve either directly worked on it or worked around it. I am a generalist who is wide but deep.

I am a recognized Industry Leader in the graphic arts space, working with competitors and customers alike to build consensus. I have been recognized by my industry peers with the 2025 TAGA Michael H. Bruno award for industry achievement.

As a leader of people, I know how to get the best out of my teams and individuals because I’ve both been where they are as well as see the bigger picture. I am who you need to get successful.
