Hello World
I'm Haochen
I build full-stack products with TypeScript, moving between product ideas, backend systems, data models, and frontend interfaces.
I'm especially interested in async architecture on the backend, and lately I've also been exploring AI agents and agent memory systems. I have a soft spot for UI that feels lively, clear, and easy to use.

我的 personal agent 怎么管上下文：把 context 当易耗品，把记忆当资产
