I am Yang Zhi, a full-stack software engineer with a passion for building innovative and user-friendly products. I am particularly interested in emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain. I believe that these technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, and I am excited to be a part of that revolution.
Over the past nine months, I’ve been based in Beijing through NUS Overseas Colleges, observing how AI reshapes work and life across cultures — from Singapore to China to the U.S. During a recent two-week trip to Silicon Valley for SF Tech Week, I explored how Agentic AI is moving from hype to utility, how founders like Bolt.new’s Eric Simons build with speed and clarity, and how OpenRouter data reveals the real use cases behind the AI boom. From AI-driven search visibility to hyper-personalized marketing, this post captures insights and reflections from the front lines of the AI revolution — where technology meets mindset, and visibility becomes the new currency.
A glimpse into my year-long journey as an AI engineer in China’s bustling capital. From cutting-edge technology and work life to cultural discoveries and daily adventures, this blog captures the experiences, challenges, and insights gained while living at the crossroads of innovation and tradition.
A personal recount on AdventureX 2025 in Hangzhou, China’s largest hackathon. Building “Agentic Factoria,” an AI agentic system for industrial applications. The experience offered valuable lessons in context engineering, new friendships, and a renewed drive for both AI and personal growth.
A living record of the AI tools, agents, and workflows I personally use — from design assistants to automation frameworks. Updated regularly with practical notes on how each tool fits into my stack.
