He previously founded Lovart and Liblib, and built TapNow before shifting focus — 葬AI described him in March 2026 as "always founding, daring to push to the extreme" across these and other products . His ByteDance tenure appears to have begun after his earlier ventures; one June 2026 item nicknamed him a "ByteDance heir" who "harvests gold from Ant and Tencent for ByteDance" . The same source noted his willingness to borrow and iterate rapidly on competitors' ideas, quoting him that "in a赛道, everyone learning from each other is very normal" .
