Between human needs and machine capability

I make AI feel
genuinely useful.

Make uncertainty testable.

Two agent products I helped build during internships at NetEase and Baidu. The diagrams show what was broken, what I added, and what changed.

AI Learning Companion

The best AI assistance knows when humans matter most.

An AI learning assistant for K12 students that answers when human planners are offline and hands complex cases back to them. I mined 5.365M chat records to set priorities, then designed the agent architecture, knowledge base, tool calls and evaluation, from zero to gray launch.

Baidu Merchant Agent

A better AI conversation should lead to a better outcome.

I turned sales practices into structured dialogue workflows for Baidu's merchant agent: chain-of-thought guidance, emotion-aware replies, and a three-step lead-qualification flow that judges lead quality inside the conversation instead of after it.

WHAT I BRING

Foresight, perspective, and the patience to iterate.

(A)
A line drawing of a light cone, with past and future opening out from a single point

FORESIGHT

The present sets the horizon

Each choice today decides which futures stay within reach.

(B)
A line drawing of a Möbius strip, a band with only one side

PERSPECTIVE

Both sides are one

Follow the user far enough, and you reach the business.

(C)
A line drawing of a spiral staircase winding upward around a column

ITERATION

Circle, and climb

Each loop comes back to the same question, a step higher.

04HOW I WORK / AI IN THE LOOP

OBSERVE → FRAME → MAKE → LEARN

AI in every step
of the loop.

Not a subject I study, but the way I work. Models do the reading, drafting and grading at scale; I keep the judgment.

  1. A complete archival moon specimen showing a cyan-blue waxing crescent
    01
    OBSERVE

    Listen

    Let a model sort the chats; I read the outliers.

  2. A complete archival moon specimen showing a cyan-blue first quarter
    02
    FRAME

    Define

    Argue the problem with AI until one bet is left.

  3. A complete archival moon specimen showing a cyan-blue waxing gibbous phase
    03
    MAKE

    Build

    Vibe-code the demo instead of writing a long spec doc.

  4. A complete archival moon specimen showing a cyan-blue full moon

    LEARN

    Measure

    Let a model grade at scale; I read every failure myself.
