Hello, I'm

Danny Li

Technology Architect & Problem Solver

I believe great technology should feel invisible — it just works, quietly making life better for the people who depend on it. For 20 years I've been turning complex ideas into systems that last, from the factory floor to the cloud.

Architecting Technology
That Matters

I'm a technology leader based in South Carolina with over two decades of experience spanning software engineering, enterprise architecture, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven digital transformation.

My career has taken me from writing the first lines of code as a developer at companies like Blackbaud to directing global IT strategy at Boeing for 10 years, leading a 50-person team at the South Carolina Judicial Branch, and today architecting secure healthcare data solutions at ArizeIT.

What drives me is the intersection of technology and real-world impact — whether that's saving $4.2M annually through predictive analytics, keeping 1 million court users connected with 99.9% uptime, or building AI pipelines that reduce manufacturing downtime by 30%.
