Welcome

Hi! I'm Zixun Huang.

I build AI agents, robotic systems, and reliable software products that turn ambitious ideas into practical experiences.

I am an MSE Electrical Engineering student at the University of Pennsylvania. My current focus is AI agent development: tool-using agents, workflow automation, context engineering, and full-stack products, alongside robotics and perception systems that connect software intelligence with the physical world.
