📝 Professional Profile

Product leader focused on enterprise AI applications and Agent systems, currently a Product Manager on the Digital Efficiency product line at Huatu Education Technology. I turn business problems into testable product strategies and then into secure, operable, scalable production systems — spanning discovery, product design, technical direction, prototyping, engineering delivery, and live operations.

I bring 13 years of experience across business, product, partnerships, and organizational execution, including about 5 years in enterprise digitization and nearly 2 years of intensive GenAI and Agent delivery. My work covers intelligent learning notes, Lark and ERP automation, business CRM, and AI program operations. I can discuss value and process with business owners while working with engineers on APIs, data contracts, quality, deployment, and operational boundaries.

I am a highly technical product operator with hands-on experience in Agent workflows, MCP, knowledge retrieval, structured content processing, quality evaluation, and model routing. I use shipped outcomes — not model-name lists or one-off demos — as evidence. Earlier roles at Oxford University Press, Penguin Random House, and domestic companies developed strong cross-functional leadership and working proficiency in English and German.
