ChinaWhat I'm looking for
I help teams turn ideas into clear product plans and working prototypes. I bring 20 years of product design and management experience across automotive displays, robotics and consumer hardware, combining product strategy, user research and cross-functional delivery with AI-assisted implementation using Claude Code and Codex.
At FUTURUS, I led product definition and cross-functional collaboration for HUD generations 1.0-3.0, with more than 1.5 million units shipped in total. I also led a team from consumer hardware definition to production launch in six months.
My personal AI-assisted projects include EvoDesk, a Tauri workspace for conversations, project context and tasks; MyJavis, a personal real-time voice companion; and a public AR HUD gesture interaction prototype built with React, TypeScript and MediaPipe. Public source examples include CPA Menu, a native macOS usage dashboard with a SwiftUI app and Go bridge. I own requirements, interaction decisions and acceptance checks, using AI coding tools to implement and iterate.
Available for part-time or contract product discovery, MVP scoping, AI-assisted prototypes, AI agents and workflow automation. Based in Beijing, China (UTC+8). Mandarin native; conversational English. Portfolio: https://my.chenchuan.cc/
