Cheng "Jaycee" Jiang

Dual master’s degrees from RPI (Computer Science and Management, full scholarship). Two years at Silicon Valley startup Quixey, then eight at Snap, where I cut iOS app startup time by 60%+ and built the app landing camera module for 150M+ users. Now I independently design, build, and operate production AI systems: trading engines, consumer platforms, and supporting infrastructure.

10quant.com

A trading platform serving first-time users through professional desks

The product at 10quant.com is a platform serving a full range of users: first-time traders get guided strategies with one-click deployment to live containers; professional desks get custom indicator logic, dual-axis backtests, and live monitoring with drift recovery. The engine trades statistical arbitrage on Binance, MEXC, and OKX futures, with Kalman-filter hedge ratios, composable entry gates, and one Docker container per pair for fault isolation.

Tarot & Balance

tarotbalance.com

15,000+ registered users, recurring revenue, 13 languages

A production consumer platform operating in 13 languages. The free tier drives acquisition; the paid tier delivers ~20,000-word readings as branded PDFs, alongside relationship reports, a companion chat, and human reader bookings. The multi-agent pipeline enforces a strict invariant: no paid order is ever lost.

Polymarket Arbitrage

Open-source weather models, priced against Polymarket

Four forecast models price Polymarket weather markets: NOAA GFS plus self-hosted Aurora, GraphCast, and Pangu-Weather. The ensemble produces calibrated probabilities; a GLM-4 agent classifies markets and analyzes bundles via function calling; an hourly backtest framework re-scores all live signals to validate filter performance. Designed and built independently.

Controllable AI Film Studio

Text-to-short-film generation with consistent characters

An end-to-end pipeline running entirely on local hardware: LLM screenplays, character reference sheets, consistency-chained keyframes, image-to-video, local TTS, and word-level subtitles. Per-character LoRA training preserves identity across shots; an optional cloud tier trades locality for speed.
