I'm Chris Wu — CS @ USC '27, founder of Anvol: our engineers take hardware from prototype to small-batch production. Previously cofounder & CTO at Moorecubes, AI engineering intern at articuler.ai. I build AI-native products end-to-end: hardware ↔ backend ↔ UX ↔ growth. Self-described vibe coder.

Open to 2027 new-grad SWE / PM / GTM-engineer roles.
Two robotic products shipped: an autism-intervention robot and a psychological-counseling robot. Built the real-time audio pipeline (ASR → LLM → TTS over WebSockets), the SpringBoot backend, and the WeChat mini-app.
- Stack: Node.js · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Prisma · WebSockets · Docker · Kubernetes · GitHub Actions
- Highlights: $300K ARR · 300K RMB grand prize at Suzhou pitch · selected for MiraclePlus S26 (formerly YC China) · 200-person UX research study

Claude Buddy — CC Desk Pet · w/ @leezisheng · 2026-04 → ongoing
An ESP32 desktop pet that animates Claude Code tool calls in real time over BLE. Press a physical button to approve risky actions — hardware as a trust boundary for the agent.
- Repo: ChrisWu132/MicroPython_Claude_Assistant
- Team: co-built with @leezisheng, who led the device firmware — WS2812 light engine (hardware-timer ISR), Doubao-TTS voice queue, 8 preset animated characters, SD-card logging, and the
flash_device.py/gen_voice_assets.pytooling. I built the Claude Code hook daemon, BLE bridge, and plugin packaging. - Stack: ESP32 · MicroPython · LVGL · BLE (Bleak) · Python asyncio
- Highlights: real-time tool-call streaming · risk-aware physical approval gate · 49 tests · <4 min onboarding
GenAI networking platform for students. Authored 3 PRDs across a cross-functional team; ran LLM evals end-to-end.
- Stack: GenAI · LLM evaluation · LangGraph
- Highlights: surfaced a $2M market gap · defined 10 LLM eval standards · +50% feature adoption · +30% output quality
K-12 AI-literacy platform: 6 progressive labs teaching how LLMs work, plus a visual AI-workflow builder.
- Stack: Next.js 15 · React Flow · Supabase · TypeScript · Tailwind
- Highlights: Vercel Hackathon 2nd place (USC Vibeathon)
Other public work: telos (AI learning platform). The portfolio site (chris-wu.com) and the Moorecubes core codebase are private — full breakdowns + live demos live on the site.
