AI Product ManagerAgent Systems Builder
I work on AI products at Huatu Education in Beijing. My recent work covers learning-note generation, model evaluation, and operational analytics. I also consult part-time on product data, AI workflows, and business systems for an automotive-parts business.

I maintain open-source tools including another, loop, and OpenCode Annotate, using AI-assisted development for implementation, testing, and releases. Before this, I worked in digital publishing, partnerships, and enterprise IT at companies including Oxford University Press, Penguin Random House, and HUBS. My career began in 2013.
