Summary

Mechanical Engineering undergraduate transitioning toward AI product and technical product roles. Experienced in independently driving AI products from 0 to 1, including requirement analysis, feature planning, user flow design, prompt strategy, and frontend prototyping. My engineering training has built strong systems thinking and constraint-based problem solving, allowing me to quickly understand technical product structures and turn ideas into working prototypes.

Experience

ClashLingo | AI Language Learning Product | Founder / Builder

Independent build

Mar 2026 – Present
  • Independently designed and built the product from 0 to 1, defining a four-step loop of learning scope, AI-generated syllabus, exam assessment, and battle feedback.
  • Designed key modules including weekly scope, syllabus, and exam mode based on user learning and interaction scenarios, while structuring page hierarchy and product logic.
  • Developed prompt strategies to drive LLM-generated learning content and assessment questions, exploring personalized feedback mechanisms in education.
  • Built the frontend prototype with Next.js and Supabase, and iterated through development, debugging, and UI refinement with AI coding tools such as Codex and Claude.

ConvinceThem | AI Startup Evaluation Product

Collaborative build

Mar 2026 – Present
  • Co-designed and developed an AI web product from 0 to 1 for startup evaluation, centered around a multi-persona AI review system.
  • Led the design of key frontend pages and interaction logic, including briefing, dynamic follow-up questioning, persona switching, and result feedback.
  • Used Next.js for frontend development and leveraged AI coding tools such as Codex and Claude for implementation, debugging, and iterative product improvement.

Multi-Speed Transmission System Design | Engineering Systems Design Project

Course project

Feb 2026 – Apr 2026
  • Designed a transmission system and completed CAD modeling under multiple constraints, covering requirement analysis, concept design, assembly testing, and iterative optimization.
  • Identified mechanical interference and strength issues during assembly tests, proposed structural revisions, and validated feasible solutions.
  • Delivered a system with multiple gear modes including climbing, low-speed, high-speed, and reverse, while integrating anti-shock design to improve stability and usability.

Laboratory Delivery Robot | Engineering Systems Design Project

Course project

Feb 2026 – Apr 2026
  • Designed and assembled a walking laboratory delivery robot, focusing on leg mechanism motion and chassis structure.
  • Diagnosed mechanical interference and motion jamming caused by structure thickness and part layout during prototyping, then improved stability through iterative redesign.
  • Refined joint and fastening structures to preserve rotational freedom while limiting unintended lateral displacement, improving assembly reliability.

Deep Learning for Snow Remote Sensing | Research Project

Zhejiang University

Jun 2024 – Sep 2024
  • Participated in remote sensing image preprocessing, annotation, and result analysis, gaining a practical understanding of how data quality affects model performance.
  • Reviewed literature in snow remote sensing and summarized model selection logic, input-output structure, and evaluation metrics.
  • Built a stronger understanding of machine learning workflows and improved my ability to connect technical methods with real-world application scenarios.
