/ About me

I am a builder focused on AI applications, agents, and data systems. I connect the system underneath with the experience people use.

My early work was in water-resources modeling and engineering design. Since 2022, I have developed independent Python and AI projects, bringing the same attention to inputs, constraints, and failure modes into software.

I am strongest when shipping end-to-end: Python backends and data pipelines, multi-agent orchestration with eval gates, and product surfaces that actually ship. I care about inspectability, failure modes, and human confirmation — the same instincts that matter in physical engineering.

03Experience

Independent AI Application & Data Systems Engineer

@Self-directed / independent projects

2022 – Present

Shipping agent workflows (explicit task graphs), bilingual research apps, Python data systems, and a personal web/iOS product matrix. LLMs as leverage, constrained by eval gates and human confirmation. Personal/independent work — not commercial client deliveries.

Assistant Engineer (Water Supply & Drainage)

@中国建筑西南勘察设计研究院

2021.07 – 2022.04

Water supply and drainage design for commercial and municipal projects. Confirmed the fit issue with traditional institute work and pivoted to technology-driven systems.
