What I Do

Economics trained how I think — identifying key variables and making decisions under uncertainty. AI is how I amplify that ability.

Currently interning in AI technology strategy at Xiaohongshu (REDnote). I read arXiv papers and track GitHub repos daily, and I build my own tools from scratch. I believe good judgment is built on truly understanding the technology — I don't make calls on things I haven't dug into myself.
