Hi, I'm Xiangpeng Wan (Ph.D.)

I work on AI agents, automation, and intelligent data workflows, and I care about making AI useful beyond the demo.

I enjoy the quiet parts of building: asking better questions, checking edge cases, cleaning up details, and making systems a little more trustworthy each time. AI makes things faster, but it does not make judgment optional.

I started this blog because, like many of us, I'm still figuring out where we fit in as AI reshapes the world around us. This is where I share what I learn along the way.
