About me
Yueqi Li
Back-end Software Engineer at Turnitin
Coding is an art. It is the beautiful combination of machine and human intelligence. My goal is to become a coding artist who could not only write working code, but also smart code. In practice, I'm a doer, not a bragger. I seek for exciting new technologies, and dig into them without hesitation. Sometimes I even make one myself. Just-Make-It-Work coding is not my style. I believe that good system design is the foundation of a long-lasting application and the team behind it. That's why I've been training myself to write easy-to-read, maintainable, and reusable code with architectural boundary along all my projects. I'm still hunting for new techniques to enhance my skills in the coding world, and I'll never stop doing it. I'm on my way to the summit of top coders, and I'm proud of doing the coolest job in the world.
