Yichen Wu
I build AI systems that have to survive production — agents with hard budgets, pipelines that publish daily without me.
The four glowing dots are my flagship repos, live from GitHub — grab one, throw it, click to look inside.

SELECTED WORK
- 01github ↗ (opens in new tab)Argus
An MCP server that turns an LLM into a black-box QA tester. Reproduction receipts, not vibes.
- 02github ↗ (opens in new tab)Sibyl
Open-source deep research agent, CLI + MCP. Generation floor cut from 183s to 46s.
- 03closed source · in productionContent Network
A 20-city automated content network. Pipelines, cost guardrails, daily self-checks — runs while I sleep.
- 04github ↗ (opens in new tab)Loop
A self-improving agent loop with hard budgets. Generator vs critic, no runaway spend.
- 05private build · ask meWander
A travel planner that verifies every place it suggests before you see it.
- 06github ↗ (opens in new tab)scalable-starter
The Next.js + FastAPI foundation most projects above fork from.
CONTACT
I build AI systems that have to survive contact with production — agents with hard budgets, pipelines that publish every day without me, and the tests that catch them when they drift. Based in Vancouver, working across the stack.
Open to AI and full-stack engineering roles at US companies, working remotely from Vancouver — Pacific Time, full overlap with the US West Coast.
