I build production AI systems, evaluation workflows, and tool-first software that AI agents can actually use.
I’m Weijian Zhang, an AI Engineering Manager at Marex with a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Manchester. My background spans numerical linear algebra, time-dependent networks, and real-world machine learning systems, including time as a visiting researcher at MIT CSAIL.
- Production AI systems — building LLM and ML systems that work beyond demos
- Model behaviour & evaluation — improving reliability, regression detection, and iteration speed
- Tool-first software — APIs and CLI tools that humans and agents can both operate
- Applied experiments — testing ideas in public and turning understanding into working systems
- bedrock-agent-blueprint — production-ready template for building AI agents with Strands Agents SDK on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, with Terraform infrastructure
- autoresearch-classifier — autonomous experiment loop for improving a classical ML classifier for prompt injection detection
- paper-fluff-cutter — CLI tool that strips academic papers down to what actually matters
- youtube-summariser — CLI tool that summarizes YouTube videos using AI
