Science and engineering are how we stay alive, and art and culture are what we live for.
About Me
A curious mind at the intersection of technology and business
I'm Yue Li, a product marketer with an engineering soul. My journey started at Waseda University in Tokyo, where I studied Mechanical Engineering and fell in love with both building things and telling their stories.
From programming soccer-tracking robots to designing AI solutions for enterprise clients at ByteDance Lark, I've always been drawn to the space where technology meets real-world impact. Now at Manus, I lead product marketing initiatives that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI and the people who use it.
I believe the best products deserve stories that resonate. My engineering background gives me the technical depth, while my marketing experience helps me translate complexity into compelling narratives.
