Zhi Tian
Full-Stack & AI
Application Engineer
Profile
Seven years in software: four in frontend, then full-stack and AI application work since 2024. I build from browser and cross-platform clients through to the server, shipping consumer products at scale. Former maintainer of Rematch, an 8.4k-star open-source project. I use AI coding agents daily — at work and to build things of my own.

Xmind· Full-Stack Engineer
2024.01 - 2026.07
Quin · AI tarot app · ~290K MAU · ~54K AI readings / day
  • Cross-platform: built the web and mini-program clients (WeChat, Kuaishou) and adapted WeChat H5 for login, sharing and payments; implemented a card-draw interaction shared by web and mini-program, and local / cloud session storage supporting resume and history merge
  • Payments: built the payment flows for the Kuaishou mini-program and WeChat H5 / mini-program; maintained Apple in-app purchase and subscriptions
  • Growth: shipped referral, annual-report and similar campaigns, plus a one-tap posting mini-program and an Electron review tool that sped up posting and internal review; built the paywall A/B analytics dashboard
  • SSO: migrated staff SSO to an OIDC gateway
Starry · AI bilingual browser
  • Translation engine: side-by-side translation of a full page or a single passage — segment pre-processing, viewport-first queue scheduling and request batching, two-tier local / cloud caching, several display styles, with dedicated handling for X, Reddit, GitHub and Google Search
  • Reading: save any page for offline reading; detect article content and enter an immersive reader; ad and privacy blocking, plus a built-in Hacker News feed
  • AI Chat (macOS): ask about the current page, selected text, images or PDFs without leaving the browser, with dedicated support for editors such as Google Docs, Notion and Gmail
AI Exploration
  • Mapify AI Search: chose the retrieval backend for Mapify, an AI product that turns content into mind maps — built a search app with switchable providers to judge Exa, Serper, Jina and Tavily on real questions, and separately forked promptfoo for batch evaluation with Perplexity answers as a reference
  • Deep Monkey: a Chrome extension that turns a plain-language request into a reusable script for one site — pricing overseas shopping pages in the local currency, showing IMDB ratings on Netflix. An agent loop lets the model run JS and correct itself from what comes back; users supply their own API key, which never enters the conversation or the script
