About Yuan Zhou
I design and ship full-stack products and applied AI systems, from backend architecture and integrations to deployment and operations.
California · U.S. citizen · No sponsorship required
I started in native mobile development, then worked on AH-64 avionics and electrical systems in the U.S. Army. At Tsinghua University, I studied failure modes in Android system services. Product engineering brought those interests together: useful interfaces supported by systems that can be understood and tested.
My work at Multiverse Labs covered full-stack products and applied AI. I was the project lead and sole developer for the GolfJoy software described here, using AI tools while retaining responsibility for implementation, integrations, testing, and delivery. The case study presents the product interfaces, engineering decisions, and current public status.

How I work
01
I start with the user journey, the source of truth for each piece of data, and the boundaries between components. A booking, price, or sensor reading needs a clear meaning before it becomes an interface.
02
I use AI tools to explore approaches, implement changes, and review code. I break the work into explicit tasks, review the integration points, and remain responsible for architecture, testing, and delivery.
03
The useful questions are often about the failure path: stale content, invalid signatures, duplicate requests, or lost device connections. My public release-gate lab makes one part of that approach inspectable.

Developed JGREAnalyzer for cross-language analysis and validation of Android resource-exhaustion flaws. The paper reports 21 vulnerable interfaces across 12 of 148 Android 10 system services; nine were exploitable without permissions.
