Yulin Li developed and maintained real-time AI voice interaction features for the Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-speech-sdk repository, building a full-duplex voice bot that integrates Azure Speech, OpenAI APIs, and avatar rendering. Using Python, TypeScript, and .NET, Yulin implemented real-time transcription, text-to-speech, and WebSocket-based audio streaming, while also addressing endpoint stability and dependency management. He upgraded the platform to .NET 8.0, improved CI/CD pipelines, and removed deprecated samples to align with evolving Azure services. Additionally, Yulin contributed to MicrosoftDocs/azure-ai-docs by clarifying WebSocket endpoint documentation, reducing integration errors and supporting developer onboarding through precise, production-aligned documentation updates.
