I'm Feng Qiu

Product manager building thoughtful AI and mobile products for learning, productivity, and everyday reflection.

I have spent more than a decade in software product management, with experience across mobile system apps, user experience design, localization, and product strategy. My work focuses on turning ambiguous needs into products that feel clear, useful, and respectful of how people actually live and learn.

Alongside my professional work, I build small products to test ideas directly. DailyTrace explores personal time awareness, Essayly applies AI to writing practice, and WordBoost experiments with language learning during everyday browsing. These projects reflect the areas I care about most: AI, learning, mobile experiences, and tools that help people understand themselves better.
