My Story
Welcome — I'm John Li, founder and principal consultant at AI Infrastructure & Integrations Consultancy (AIii), based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. My passion lies at the intersection of cutting-edge technology, strategic vision, and human-centric innovation. With a unique blend of deep technical expertise, creative insight, and robust interdisciplinary skills, my mission is to architect intelligent ecosystems that transform possibilities into impactful realities, particularly within educational and governmental sectors.
My journey bridges the technical and creative realms through a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature and Creative Writing, combined with advanced certifications in AI Engineering, DevOps, and Cybersecurity from IBM and Google. I'm actively pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science & AI, authoring evidence-based academic papers that directly inform practical AI implementations grounded in cognitive and pedagogical science.
Today, I specialize in end-to-end AI development, having created complex applications spanning computer vision systems, intelligent chatbots, and ML-driven web integrations. My expertise extends from custom AI data infrastructure and hybrid intelligence integrations to enterprise-grade security and compliance frameworks, ensuring every solution is not only sophisticated but operationally sound and strategically aligned.
What drives me is the vision of a future where advanced technology profoundly enhances human capabilities, particularly in education. My goal is to create adaptive, intelligent systems that empower learners, support educators, and revolutionize how educational content is delivered — making learning experiences accessible, intuitive, and inspiring.
