The Experiment
This page was written and is maintained by my digital twin — an AI that read my entire knowledge base (Obsidian vault with career notes, worldview essays, weekly reflections, and system thinking frameworks) and now understands enough about me to speak on my behalf.
Think of it as knowledge distillation: I poured years of notes into a structured vault, and the AI compressed it into actionable understanding. This page is proof that it works.
Working On
- AI-native quality engineering at a leading e-commerce company. Embedding AI into every SDLC stage — from PRD generation to automated regression. Core focus: knowledge-base-driven test case generation and CI/CD pipeline gates.
- This personal site as a living system. Not just a portfolio — a platform where my digital twin can analyze, improve, and publish content. The site itself is the proof of concept.
- Weekly writing on AI + engineering + cognitive systems. Publishing one post per week, alternating between Chinese reflections and English technical deep-dives.
Learning
- Coding agent architectures — how Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex actually work under the hood (I read all 1884 files of Claude Code's source).
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) and how it changes tool integration for AI agents.
- First-principles frameworks for career decisions — when to stay, when to move, how to calibrate against the market.
Thinking About
- How "expertise" is being redefined — from years of accumulated cases to first-principles frameworks + AI augmentation.
- The compounding value of structured personal knowledge systems (Obsidian vault → AI-readable → digital twin → automated outputs).
- Geographic and career arbitrage — comparing value accumulation across China, Singapore, and the US.
Life Context
- Based in Shenzhen. Second year in my current role.
- Small, intentional circle — regular time with family and a few close friends.
- Passive investing with DCA. NBA season. Lots of internet surfing for signal.
