Tauri 2React 19TypeScriptAgent SkillsCodex Core

Reframed a developer-oriented Agent runtime as a desktop workspace for mainstream users: choose a scenario, upload source material, describe the task, follow execution progress, and receive editable PPT, Excel, and Word deliverables.

  • Product positioning: focused on work, content creation, and job-search scenarios while hiding terminals, code, and model settings behind a Task → Progress → Deliverable flow
  • Scenario and Skill system: designed 8 launch-critical Skills covering presentations, Excel analysis, weekly reports, meeting notes, social content, multi-platform rewriting, video scripts, and resume tailoring
  • Desktop execution: built the workspace, history, Skill library, file attachments, progress states, and artifact management with Tauri and React while reusing Codex Core
  • Presentation delivery lane: designed a structured TaskSpec → DeckSpec → Python rendering and automated QA pipeline for page constraints, grounded facts, editable charts, and reopen validation
FLIPPED Music

A music product concept centered on emotional encounters, combining listening, social discovery, AI music generation, and interaction

Role: Product Strategy · User Insight · AI Music Creation · Feature Design

Early undergraduate project

Music ProductSocial MechanicsAI GenerationInteraction Design

A concept exploring how a music product can extend beyond playback into content, social discovery, and creation through Familiar Mode, Music Square, Instrument Play, and hands-on AI-generated music and songwriting.

  • Product positioning: reorganized listening, discovery, and social interaction around emotional moments in music
  • Core concepts: recommendation feed, music square, instrument interaction, AI songs, and virtual identity
  • AI music creation: generated original songs around user keywords and emotions, then embedded them into the product experience
  • Complete proposal: covered user insight, competitor research, feature design, and monetization across 42 pages
Xiaohongshu AI Content Generator

Xiaohongshu AI Content Generator

A custom AI writing system for "你的AI背包", solving hallucination and style drift in generic AI tools

Role: Product Design · Prompt Architecture · Content Operations

Feb 2026 - Present

Prompt EngineeringContent OperationsSEO Optimization

While running a Xiaohongshu account, I found generic AI content suffered from three problems: fabricated personal anecdotes, inconsistent tone, and ignored platform rules. Core approach: embed quality standards into the Prompt system so AI aligns at generation time, not through post-hoc editing.

  • Three-layer architecture: Anti-hallucination layer (user supplies context each time, eliminating fabrication), Style control layer (four content structure templates), Platform layer (title length limits, SEO keyword placement, mobile-friendly formatting)
  • Iterated from v1.0 to v2.0: data analysis of 5 posts revealed search keywords as the key traffic driver, leading to an SEO module and a 6-item post-generation checklist
  • Account built from zero — third post achieved 1,600+ saves and 1,000+ likes
Federated Boosting with Differential Privacy

Federated Boosting with Differential Privacy

HUST undergraduate thesis — collaborative model training without centralizing user data, balancing performance and privacy

Role: Core Researcher

Jun 2024

PyTorchCUDARayTensorBoardNumPy

Built on Shen et al. (2022)'s Federated Functional Gradient Boosting (FFGB) algorithm, extending it with a privacy protection mechanism. Clients train weak learners via residual tracking each round; the server aggregates them into a global model. An adaptive Gaussian noise mechanism dynamically adjusts noise intensity based on loss changes to balance privacy and accuracy.

  • Integrated Boosting into the federated framework with an adaptive Gaussian differential privacy mechanism that tunes noise strength dynamically
  • Applied knowledge distillation to compress the ensemble model and reduce client–server communication overhead
  • Validated across multiple datasets under high data heterogeneity: significantly faster convergence than FedAvg, with strong model accuracy retained after applying differential privacy
