ABOUT
I make things people use — and I still get the same thrill from a well-crafted product I did a decade ago.
I've spent 10+ years designing and shipping products across social, creator economy, and AI — from JD.com to four startups built from zero. Now I design and code AI products end-to-end, solo.
I care about the details most people don't notice. I believe the best AI feels invisible. And I ship fast, because that's where you learn.

Full-stack AI Prototyping
Shipping AI products end-to-end with Claude Code, Cursor, and modern web stacks. Three live products built solo — from idea to production in days, not months.
