Beyond Tech Leadership 工作之外的探索

Passions, Portfolio & Creative Works 个人追求、精选作品与创意探索

Outside of my day-to-day work in AI and tech, I have a wide range of personal passions that keep me curious and energized. From producing video reviews of frontier AI technologies and rapid prototyping via AI coding, to fitness techniques and original fitness comics, writing corporate suspense & romance novel Astray, and exploring Chinese poetry (classical and modern styles) and stock investment strategies — this is my space to create, explore, and recharge. 在日常的 AI 与技术产品工作之外,丰富的个人追求始终是我保持好奇心与充沛精力的源泉。从高频制作前沿 AI 技术评测视频与开展 AI 编程原型开发,到健身技巧与原创健身科普漫画、创作商战悬疑都市小说《迷途》(Astray),再到品读与创作新旧体诗词,以及股票分析与量化投资策略研究——这里是我记录探索、释放灵感与充电蓄能的自留地。

CREATIVE WRITING & LITERATURE 文学创作与叙事审美

Creative Writing: Novels & Chinese Poetry 文学创作:长篇小说与新旧体诗词

Corporate Suspense Fiction, Classical Meter & Modern Free Verse 商战悬疑长篇小说、古典格律与现代新诗

Writing is my ultimate creative outlet for world-building, psychological depth, and philosophical inquiry. Outside of tech product leadership, I craft the contemporary corporate suspense & urban romance novel Astray (exploring cutting-edge tech rivalry, moral ambiguity, and human redemption), alongside writing Chinese poetry across classical meter and modern free verse—condensing vast human experiences into architectural rhythm, spatial imagery, and timeless reflection. 文学创作是我构建叙事宇宙、探寻人性深度与时空哲思的核心途径。在科技产品工作之余,我潜心创作当代商战悬疑与都市情感长篇小说《迷途》(Astray,刻画硬核科技创业对抗、利益博弈与人性救赎),并持续研读与创作新旧体诗词——从古典格律的严整声韵到现代诗行的自由意象,将天地辽阔与幽微心绪凝练于笔端。
