AI engineer & founder · seeking AI engineering roles

Bo Shang

I'm an AI engineer and founder who builds agentic systems end to end — and I've shipped most of it solo. I work at the intersection of applied AI, cybersecurity, and Chinese technology, think from first principles, and learn fastest by building the hard thing myself.

01

What I build

Erosolar

An autonomous, long-horizon AI research assistant with its own coding CLI.

Erosolar Coder

A terminal coding agent at Claude-Code parity.

Vigil · Trenchwork

An AI-powered defensive-cyber agent, built under my company Trenchwork.

Women Who Defend

A hands-on security-engineering learning platform.

02

My edge — depth across the whole AI stack

Agent architecture and tool-use · multi-model orchestration · prompt caching and context engineering · retrieval and search pipelines (managed and self-hosted) · and the cost economics most teams get wrong. I route across Claude, GPT, Grok, and the Chinese frontier — DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM — by capability and price, and I write publicly about where AI cost, value, and competition are actually heading (see my dispatches, the subscriptions analysis, and the value calculator).

I come from security engineering (Tufts), with deep fluency in applied AI, cybersecurity, and Chinese technology. I think from first principles, not from a playbook.

I'm looking to join an AI engineering team that wants builders unafraid of hard problems.
