Biography
I work at the intersection of LLM agents and forecasting — researching how AI systems gather information, conduct long-horizon reasoning, and eventually make decisions with real stakes. I am currently a Product Manager II at OKX, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, where I am part of the Prediction Market team.
I am also a PhD candidate (on leave) in Information Systems at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. My research spans forecasting agents and AI for decision-making. I have published several papers at top conferences and their workshops, including ICML and IJCAI. When it comes to open source, I built Predict-Raven, an autonomous forecasting agent that trades independently on Polymarket.

Projects
Predict-Raven
Autonomous forecasting agent framework that trades independently on Polymarket without human intervention.
- Self-running agent that dynamically searches for information, evaluates event probabilities, and executes trades on prediction markets.
- Both codebase and live trading records are fully open-sourced.
- Achieved 360k+ impressions and 800+ likes/bookmarks on social media platforms.
Hack-Balatro
Training a superhuman AI model for the card game Balatro, with a fully simulated game environment and LLM-based evaluation harness.
- Built a complete game simulation environment replicating all numerical values and game mechanics.
- Currently using LLM and custom harness framework for evaluation while collecting SFT data.
- Planning to explore train-free methods and RL approaches in subsequent phases.
