Xi Zhang
Founder & AI Engineer · AI Business Automation
I'm an AI engineer and aspiring founder building agent-based business automation for Australian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) — replacing labour-intensive back-office workflows with autonomous AI workflows that ship in days, not quarters.
The combination I bring is rare: PhD-grade research depth (9 publications in CORE A* venues including MobiCom, SenSys, INFOCOM, IEEE TMC, and IEEE/ACM ToN) plus end-to-end production delivery — two Fortune 500 AI-based applications already integrated by paying customers.
I am building my own agent orchestration stack on top of OpenClaw, Hermes, OpenGOAL, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the technical backbone for AI-augmented business workflows that compress headcount cost without sacrificing quality.
