Build
Independent products
Small, useful applications with clear scope, calm interfaces, and a bias toward long-term maintainability.
Independent developer in Shanghai
I build practical products for runners, families, and everyday life. This site is a working notebook for shipped apps, writing, and the lessons that carry over from long miles in the mountains.
What this site holds
Product work, writing, and running all inform the same thing: disciplined progress over noise.
Build
Small, useful applications with clear scope, calm interfaces, and a bias toward long-term maintainability.
Write
Short essays on product craft, endurance, and what repeated practice teaches better than theory.
Run
Trail running and racing sharpen how I think about pacing, resilience, and decision-making under fatigue.
