Lifan Huang
I’m a software engineer building small, practical tools around AI-agent workflows, observability, reusable agent skills, and quiet product interfaces.
Work
I ship backend systems and APIs; I'm applying the same discipline—tokens, constraints, explicit states—to personal frontends.
- Quiet paper design system — tokens and React primitives
- Astro quiet-paper template — prose-first starter
- pi-langfuse-extension — observability for Pi Coding Agent runs
Writing
Notes and posts when there is something worth publishing—no feed for its own sake.
