Hello, I'm Wen Da.
I build systems with AI, and I'm building a 紫微斗数 engine to the same standard.
Product manager, now Applied AI Engineer. I write down how I build things with AI so you can copy it, and I'm building software that reads a birth chart the way a practitioner does.

Two things I work onpick a door
01 — for builders
Building with AI
Guides, methods and project write-ups. How a system was put together, what it cost, and where it broke.
- After vibe coding failed
- Evals before features
紫微斗数
Essays on charts, luck, and the gap between a trigger and a choice. A chart is a mirror, not a verdict.
- Your Mental palace is inner weather
