Armstrong Yan

Senior backend / platform engineer based in Singapore.

I build Go and TypeScript systems, browser extensions, AI-assisted developer workflows, and local-first productivity tools. Recent work has focused on practical AI products: tools that understand web pages, preserve local context, and keep long-running agent work inspectable, resumable, and recoverable.

Current Focus

  • Backend and platform engineering in Go and TypeScript
  • Developer tooling, browser extensions, and workflow automation
  • AI-assisted software development workflows
  • Agent harnesses, evaluators, and resumable coding loops
  • Local-first AI applications with explicit privacy boundaries

Featured Work

VisaPilot

A published browser extension for visa and arrival-card forms, with page understanding, guided filling, human-in-the-loop suggestions, local browser storage, and Chrome Web Store plus Edge Add-ons distribution.

AI Agent Harness Template

A CI-tested repository-state protocol that makes long-running AI coding projects resumable, auditable, and evaluator-gated across Codex, Claude Code, Cursor Agent, and similar tools.

Gentle Memories

A published Obsidian community plugin for rediscovering old journal notes, designed around local-first privacy boundaries, optional AI lead-ins, screenshots, and release automation.

Remote Agent Telegram Control Plane

A Telegram-based control plane for trusted local Codex workflows with repository whitelisting, bounded task execution, approval flows, persisted runtime metadata, and operational logs.

Writing

I write about backend systems, AI coding workflows, product engineering, and lessons from projects at yanqian.github.io.
