About
I'm Brandon Li, a software engineer based in Fort Worth, TX. I love to code and build meaningful, useful products that have a premium user experience. I'm currently a Full Stack Software Engineer at Fidelity Investments based out of the Westlake, TX office.
I went to Washington University in St. Louis for college and graduated with a Bachelor's degree with a double major in Finance and Computer Science with a minor in Human-Computer Interaction.
I started programming because I wanted to understand how things work. That curiosity hasn't faded — I still get excited about elegant solutions to hard problems, whether that's a clever algorithm or a well-designed API.
When I'm not coding, I'm usually exercising, playing with my cats, or contributing to open source projects. I'm also a big foodie and love to try new restaurants and cuisines.
What I Value
Craft
I believe software should be well-made. Not perfect, but intentional.
Simplicity
The best solution is usually the simplest one that works.
Systems Thinking
Understanding how parts interact is as important as building them.
Continuous Learning
The field moves fast. Staying curious is essential.
