My Story

2015
Small computer shop. Fixed machines, sold tech, learned people.
2018
Store Manager. Revenue up 100%+. Ran P&L, coached teams, managed vendors.
2022
Geek Squad field tech by day. 3D printing maker by night. 800+ downloads on MakerWorld.
2025
AI early adopter. Started tracking the LLM/Agent ecosystem deeply and writing my first scripts with AI. Zero bootcamps, AI as tutor.
2026
Tokenomic published. Built 5 specialized AI agents and 10+ production services on a self-hosted NAS. Mold ships: an API-first protocol that lets any LLM operate web pages with 97% fewer tokens. niuxue.org launches and grows to 70 Chinese AI guides. Claude Code deep user, MCP/Skill/Plugin developer.
Now
Running a multi-agent AI system in daily production, and keeping 70 guides current through an AI editorial pipeline where every change is independently reviewed. Looking for a team that values builders who ship, explain, and think across cultures.

Projects

Multi-Agent AI Platform
🤖

Multi-Agent AI Platform

Claude Code / MCP / Skills / Plugins / Docker

Problem: Commercial AI tools are stateless and generic. Solution: Specialized AI agents with persistent memory, subagent dispatch, scheduled self-checks, and remote access through Claude Remote Control, plus custom MCP servers, Skills, and Plugins for orchestration. Result: Running 24/7 since March 2026 on a self-hosted NAS alongside 10+ web services. Daily automated patrols and handoff notes keep work from getting lost across restarts.

牛学 niuxue.org
📖

牛学 niuxue.org — Chinese AI Learning Site Live

Astro Starlight / Cloudflare Pages / AI Editorial Pipeline

Problem: Chinese beginners pay for low-quality AI courses, and free tutorials go stale within weeks. Solution: A free Chinese learning site that goes from a first AI chat and Chinese AI assistants to Claude Code, agents, and real case studies. Result: 70 guides live. In September 2026, a 37-agent audit reviewed the whole site and flagged 529 issues; fixes shipped through a pipeline where every change is independently reviewed.

🔧

ServiceQuote — Geek Squad Quote System

Mold — AI-Native Web Protocol
🧬

Mold — AI-Native Web Protocol Live

API-First / 14 Endpoints / 5 LLMs / 6 Themes

Problem: AI editing HTML burns 3,500 tokens per change — expensive, error-prone, scales poorly. Solution: A 14-API protocol that lets any LLM manipulate web pages structurally via JSON, not strings. Result: 97% token reduction, 100% pass rate across Claude / GPT-5 / Gemini / Grok / ChatGPT, and 13 differentiated AI crawler strategies.

Toolbox Web Portal

Node.js / Express / HTML/CSS/JS

Problem: 7+ services scattered across different ports with no central access point. Solution: Unified web portal with health monitoring, Cloudflare Tunnel routing, and document preview. Result: One URL to access everything, anywhere.
