Systems, AI workflows, and internal products

Jiajia Zhang

I build product surfaces and operating systems that make complex work feel calmer, clearer, and easier to trust.

// Work by type

Work

I tend to work in three modes: shaping product surfaces, building internal systems, and translating analysis into decision support.

// 01

Product Surfaces

Interfaces, apps, and user-facing systems where the job is to make a fast decision feel obvious and trustworthy.

Weather Product

Nimbus

A weather product spanning app UI, aggregation logic, radar, and richer context modules, built to stay dependable under messy real-world data.

Internal Systems

Operating layers, workflows, and internal tools that reduce coordination overhead and make repeat work easier to run well.

Internal System

Life OS

A personal operating system for execution: structured memory, reusable workflows, project tracking, and automation that reduce daily ambiguity.

Decision Support

Planning and optimization work shaped into scenario comparisons, tradeoffs, and outputs that can support a real operating decision.

Decision Support

Mover × DTU Planning Thesis

Operations research and planning work focused on turning optimization models into decision support that a real operations team can use.

// The path so far

About

My work sits between product direction and system depth. I like turning fuzzy operating problems into tools, workflows, and interfaces that teams can trust under real conditions.

2026

Product systems

Across Nimbus, I treated interface design, backend aggregation, fallback logic, and context modules as one connected product system rather than separate layers.

2026

Decision-first UX

In Nu, I focused on decision speed: helping people scan nearby options, understand departures, and act quickly without carrying extra interface noise.

2026

Planning systems

In planning and optimization work, I focus on turning complex models into scenario comparisons, tradeoffs, and decision-support tools that operators can actually use.

I work comfortably across interface, architecture, and workflow design when the problem demands end-to-end ownership.

I care about systems that remain legible after launch, especially where reliability, fallback behavior, and operational clarity matter.

I am most energized by products and internal tools that reduce ambiguity and make hard work easier to execute.
