I'm Feng Qiu

Lifelong learner • Hands-on explorer

I've been working as a software product manager for more than a decade. As a product management expert, I'm passionate about driving technological innovation and enhancing user experiences. I believe in technology's power to create a better future and strive to combine cutting-edge tech with human-centered design.

My years of experience working in large corporations have led me to reflect deeply on organizational evolution and team management. In particular, my work experience and team management practices in Chinese technology companies have focused my thoughts on analyzing the various manifestations of "Parkinson's Law" within organizations and exploring methods to address them.

Additionally, being committed to lifelong learning, I continually expand my knowledge across diverse fields, including programming, languages, linguistics, history, and AI, among others. This dedication not only keeps me at the forefront of our rapidly evolving industry but has also become an integral part of my lifestyle. With the advancement of AI technology, particularly the emergence of large language models, I have begun exploring the exciting possibilities that could arise from the synergy of lifelong learning, self-directed learning, and artificial intelligence.
