Hui Li is a Startup Co-Founder at Cytrence Technologies, Inc.. Colleagues describe them as "Hui was one of my direct reports at Carbon Black. At the time, I was managing software development for the client-side (Windows, macOS, Linux) technologies of the Cb Defense product. Hui was the principal architect on my team responsible for the technical oversight of all new feature development and maintenance. Hui's work ethic during my time with him was stellar - there was no problem he could not solve. In just one example, once, in order to make code that generated file hashes as efficient as possible, he rewrote the routine in assembly language. The systems we worked on were highly complex ecosystems that were quite intrusive in terms of intercepting operating system calls. Working in this environment required great care and precision. Hui's efforts were invaluable in allowing the product to evolve with high reliability. Despite Hui's encyclopedic knowledge of programming in the kernel, Hui is also a complete full-stack developer. Hui can write a device driver, conceive of a microservices backend architecture, write a front-end web UI, or optimize a relational database. I cannot say enough great things about Hui. I would recommend Hui for any principal engineer, distinguished engineer, fellow, or principal architect position.", "Hui is one of the most talented engineers I had the pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the Windows OS fundamentals and core has been was a key factor on the project. In his role as Architect of the solution, he also designed the high-level algorithms for most of the advanced features of the system. He also spend the time needed for every one on the team to understand why we were doing the things that way. Hui is also very kind and a very colaborative person. With him on the team we were confident that we could achieve our goals.", and "Hui is responsible, organized, reliable person who displays "can do" attitude. His energy and enthusiasm overwhelmingly motivates all around him, he always shows a willingness to help others in order to move things forward. Because of this, Hui has been hands-on in solving many critical customer issues. He is a strong team player with a very prompt response all communications. This is particularly noteworthy as the team was widely distributed across the globe and close communication on the project was extremely important. He also is very passionate about quality of the work. So, his suggestions and solutions dramatically increased stability of the final product. In addition to all that, his excellent knowledge of Windows internals saved us many hours of kernel debugging."
