Most teams hire me when manual workflows start breaking under scale — too many tools, too much copy-paste, data that won't stay in sync. I build full-stack SaaS platforms and AI automation that make those problems go away. My recent work spans the full range. For a B2B procurement CRM, I shipped a unified inbox that merges Gmail, Slack, and WhatsApp into one threaded view, plus a Human-in-the-Loop AI quoting engine that turns messy supplier negotiations into structured, versioned PDFs. I also built a real-time IoT operations platform for an EV battery-swap network — a Next.js / React command center over Java Spring Boot microservices, tracking stations, batteries, and swap orders live at high concurrency. On the AI and automation side, I build agent pipelines and n8n workflows that parse documents, orchestrate OpenAI calls, and push results into Google Workspace, Slack, and Twilio. One example: an AI agent that reads a tender PDF, scrapes Google Maps to discover matching vendors, enriches their contact data, and launches a targeted outreach campaign — turning days of manual sourcing into minutes. The foundation comes from Alibaba and Vipshop (NYSE: VIPS), where I built Java/Spring Boot systems handling 100k+ DAU at 99.9% uptime and once cut a procurement batch process from 24+ hours to under 3. I build production-grade from day one — not something you'll have to rewrite in six months. Stack: Java/Spring Boot, Python, Node.js, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, OpenAI/Claude APIs, RAG, n8n, AWS, Docker. I translate business goals into technical roadmaps, own delivery end to end, and keep you updated daily. If you're building something that has to work reliably at scale, let's talk.

Anyone can scrape a page. The hard part — and what I do — is turning messy market data into something you can actually trade on: clean pipelines, point-in-time-correct databases, and bots that survive running 24/7. I build trading-adjacent data systems end to end: - Market data & pipelines — login-gated and JS-heavy sources, multi-source collection with failure isolation, normalized into Postgres/DuckDB - Point-in-time correctness — bitemporal databases with as-of replay and zero look-ahead leakage, so your backtests aren't lying to you - Signals & automation — rules-based market scanners, exchange API integration, Lightning/crypto automation, crash-resilient 24/7 deployment Recent work (real, with code & tests): - A bitemporal horse-racing trading database — Betfair historical pricing (600K+ price rows) + 280K+ race-card index, as-of replay validated leak-free, 176 passing tests (PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy) - A Bitcoin (RoboSats) selling-automation system — 18-state order lifecycle, Lightning payments via Core Lightning, Tor routing, Docker API - A prediction-market arbitrage radar — scans 5,000+ live markets per cycle for YES/NO mispricing, DuckDB snapshots, 17 passing tests I care about correctness — bad data quietly ruins a trading system, so I build in reconciliation, idempotency and tests. Clear communication in English and Chinese. I'll tell you upfront if an edge isn't realistic rather than overpromising.

If problem is unclear, messy, difficult to tackle, or requires real thinking — that’s where I stand out👋. I build production-ready systems using: • Python automation & scraping • n8n / workflow automation • Real-time data processing • AI / NLP integrations • Browser automation & workflow systems • Web applications & network infrastructure systems Not just prototypes or demos. What makes me different: - I don’t deliver partial solutions — I make sure the system actually works in your real environment - I think in terms of outcomes, not just code - I stay until the problem is solved Typical things I can help with: - Automating repetitive workflows (saving hours of manual work) - Extracting and structuring data from complex sources - Building AI-powered tools integrated into websites or processes My only goal — 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲.
