Dengju Li

I am a software engineer at Microsoft working on user experience and enterprise systems. My work spans Microsoft Defender Experts and Windows 365, and I lead AI engineering for UX, including an internal system for AI prototyping and software development that I built from the ground up and that is used on real team projects. I hold a master's degree from Sichuan University, where my research focused on brain-inspired computing and cognitive robotics.
