Zeyao Li is a web developer, designer
and educator based in New York City.

I am Zeyao, and I transform the online presence of diverse brands through web development. I am currently a Senior Web Engineer at Ramp, where I design and code everything for its web presence, from landing pages to lead-gen tools and help Ramp establish a strong brand identity in the industry.
Previously, I led the development and helped refresh various brands' websites, including Glaukos, KLA, and Rubicon MD. I also developed the new Dropmark design system under Oak Studios. I was an Adjunct Professor at Hunter College and taught a Web Development course at Film and Media department at Hunter College (2021-2022).
In my role as a Senior Web Engineer at Ramp, I am responsible for the design and development of the company's marketing site, ramp.com, while also enhancing its overall web presence. Currently, I lead the engineering efforts for product launches, oversee the development of our brand design system, and focus on optimizing conversion rates on the marketing site.
I collaborated with our brand designers to create the 2023 Year in Review page, showcasing Ramp's achievements. Leveraging GSAP and SVG animation, we brought the data points to life, offering an engaging visual representation of Ramp's milestones throughout the year.
On Ramp Intelligence, we introduced Ramp's cutting-edge AI features to the market. To enhance user experience, we developed an interactive sub-navigation system, making it easier for users to explore and understand Ramp's array of AI capabilities. This project marked the beginning of our 2023 rebrand, incorporating a fresh color palette into our design system for a modern and cohesive look.
