- Old Lark System Retirement & Data Migration
Developed and tested data migration scripts for the retirement of the old Lark system. Successfully
migrated data from 300 enterprises , covering 20 data tables with a total of
20 million rows.
The process was completed without incidents and reduced system maintenance costs by
30%.
- Technical Owner of Lark Headhunting Project
Led technical planning and solution design. Participated in requirement analysis, resolved
10+
online issues, optimized troubleshooting workflows, and maintained zero incidents throughout the
development cycle.
- Unit Testing Optimization
Led improvements to unit testing across team projects. Enhanced coverage for legacy code and ensured
all incremental code changes maintained over 70% test coverage, raising overall
project coverage by
more than 10%.

- Designed and implemented an efficient RAG workflow using Python, Java, AWS, enabling large-scale
document knowledge retrieval and intelligent responses.
- Built a conversational interface with React Native, optimized specifically for
input/output-constrained environments like Kindle,
ensuring smooth and low-latency user interactions.
- Developed core native modules in C++ to handle network requests and memory management, ensuring
high efficiency and
stability even on resource-constrained devices.
Project
ModelCraft
Jan 2024 - Now
Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, SwiftData, MLX
- Designed a multi-step task orchestration system based on the ReAct architecture, enabling LLMs
to autonomously invoke and schedule local tools.
- Built an Agentic RAG workflow with a local vector database, supporting multi-format data parsing
(PDF, audio, images, etc.) to improve retrieval accuracy and reasoning performance.
- Leveraged the MLX inference framework for efficient local deployment, significantly improving
inference performance.
- Implemented a rolling summarization mechanism to mitigate token overflow, enhancing long-context
memory consistency and complex task handling capabilities.
