02 / About

a little about me.

I'm Mingyi — a PhD researcher in biomedical optics, and previously a product manager and product designer.

I moved from software and mobility into laser research, but the work still feels connected. I like understanding complicated systems, finding the important question, and making an answer concrete enough to test.

A path through research and product

Now

Biomedical optics

I am pursuing a PhD focused on biomedical laser technologies — learning to ask precise questions, design experiments, and stay honest about evidence.

ByteDance

Product management

I led a 0-to-1 in-car short-video product, working across consumer experience, platform constraints, and automotive partners.

Inceptio

Product design

I designed intelligent truck cockpit experiences for autonomous workflows, drivers, and fleet operations.

Outside work, I'm usually reading, trying a small tool idea, or learning something I'll probably turn into a note later.
