About

I'm Alisa — an AI-native growth engineer. I win developers for AI products across Reddit, GitHub, Hacker News, search and social, and I build the agents, skills and data pipelines that run those channels.我是 Alisa —— 一名 AI 原生增长工程师。我为 AI 产品在 Reddit、GitHub、Hacker News、搜索和社媒上获取开发者,并亲手写驱动这些渠道的 agent、skill 和数据管道。

Most people run growth. I write the systems that run it for me — which is why one person can operate six channels and still ship open-source tools on the side.

I work in generative-media and AI-infra, bilingual across English and Chinese markets. Currently open to lead and remote roles.
