Light Zai Robot - Full-Stack Robotics Experience
At Light Robotics (Shenzhen), I self-proposed and led the development of the Light Zai Robot's full-stack solution (major in high-level AI, software and hardware, based on High-Torque Hi Robot), completed over two months. The robot possesses general dialogue, memory, and motion capabilities, and can autonomously execute actions such as dancing and walking according to context, while listening, speaking, and interacting with multiple people. It also exhibits appropriate social behaviors, such as looking at the person it is speaking to when appropriate. In addition, I independently built a Unity-based robot simulator, a navigation data generation simulator, my own codebase for training a Vision-Language-Action model, an agentic flow framework, and I was responsible for the GPU cluster infrastructure (application layer) that manages large-scale GPUs for the entire team. This was my first professional experience joining a company.

SimpleTex - World Leading Formula Recognition Platform
Starting from my second year at Imperial College (September 2022), I built the world's largest formula editing and recognition platform. SimpleTex has over 1M+ users globally, processes 100M+ API calls per year, and is used by 200+ universities and institutions. Back in 2022, Mathematical formula recognition used to be one of the most challenging & unsolved problems in computer vision. I set out to see whether I could develop a state-of-the-art solution at the undergraduate stage while creating a user application that truly delivers value, similar to Mathpix and I achieved this goal without any marketing spend. Today, SimpleTex also supports PDF recognition and a Chinese/mathematical Braille conversion program, which I believe provides significant social value.

Indie APP/Website Development — 5 years, 1M+ users
I am an indie full-stack developer, proficient in frontend and backend design, UI/UX, databases, microservices, and distributed systems, with over 5 years of development experience. I have built and launched multiple successful applications across different domains. During high school, I self-taught development and AI, and created a photo-based question search and learning app that became Asia's most popular A-level learning application, generating ￥1M+ per year and laying the economic foundation for later projects. It still ranks highly in SEO for the "拍照搜题" keywords. Since then, I have created more apps covering English vocabulary learning, forums, online education platforms, and various utility tools. During university, the SimpleTex API platform and AI inference framework were solely developed by me, with infrastructure supporting over 1M users. In 2025, I independently developed Awoo Food Diary and MBTI Spark, two AI-driven applications that provided me with valuable experience in the LLM era. This comprehensive full-stack experience—from initial concept and design to development, deployment, and operations—has given me deep insight into the entire software product lifecycle and laid a solid foundation for building AI-driven applications in the future.

Aerospace Engineering Journey — Amateur Rocketry KOL
During high school, I delved deep into rocket engines, ramjet engines, and computational fluid dynamics, independently deriving and developing a series of results. I shared some of these findings through videos on the Turing-G channel. In 2019, I released Simple Rocket Designer, earning my first software copyright; it is an independently developed software using PyQt5 and Python that implements fourth-order Runge-Kutta methods for rocket engine internal ballistics simulation. It remains one of the best computational tools in the amateur rocketry community, featuring the only algorithm supporting two-phase flow internal ballistics simulation. This experience significantly strengthened my physics and mathematics foundation.

Full-Stack Embedded Systems Engineering — 9+ years experience
In avionics, I independently developed a series of projects including high-altitude atmospheric probes and rocket altitude-controlled parachute deployment systems. I also independently completed several hardware products such as access control systems, laser photoelectric tachometers, and Arduino programmers, some of which were successfully sold via Taobao as my earliest profitable projects in high school. I open-sourced Q-Flight, a quadrotor drone with fully independent intellectual property built on the STM32F4 microcontroller and FreeRTOS, featuring self-developed SINS (Strapdown Inertial Navigation System) and ARHS (Attitude and Heading Reference System). The project was developed entirely from scratch—from flight control to remote control, from hardware structure to industrial design—and also includes a PyQt5-based ground station and Unity3D flight simulation software. These full-stack aerospace electronics projects significantly strengthened my mathematics and electronic engineering foundations, laying the groundwork for my future development.
