👋 Hi, I’m Xiaoyao.
Welcome to Tinker Xiaoyao.
This is my personal lab notebook where I document my learning, experiments, and explorations.
I am not an expert in any particular field, nor am I a professional tech genius.
I am simply a tinkering electrical engineer — someone who enjoys exploring new things, solving problems with my own hands, and recording ideas that have been tested through real-world practice.
Over the years, I have explored many different areas:
- 🏋️ Fitness training and body transformation
- 🤖 AI tools and local AI models
- 📱 Software development and independent apps
- 🌐 Website building and content creation
- 🧪 Various personal experiments in life
Some experiments succeed, others fail.
But every attempt leaves behind valuable experience.
I believe that growth rarely comes from one dramatic change. It comes from countless small actions accumulated over time.
🏋️ About Fitness
I have spent time studying fitness fundamentals and have always been interested in how ordinary people can improve their bodies through simple and sustainable methods.
Instead of chasing extreme training, I focus more on:
- Low barrier to entry: How ordinary people can start training
- Efficient progress: How to improve with limited time
- Life balance: How to maintain healthy habits while managing work and family
I document my training journey, including methods, physical changes, and lessons learned from real practice.
Because I believe:
The best training method is not the most extreme one, but the one people can actually stick with.
🤖 About AI and Software
The AI era has given ordinary people more opportunities to create.
I am not a professional programmer, but I enjoy exploring tools and turning ideas into reality.
From developing my own apps, to building this website, to experimenting with local AI models, I enjoy this complete process:
Find problems → Learn solutions → Build things → Share experiences
On this blog, you may find articles about:
- 🛠️ Practical AI tools and local deployment
- 📱 Independent software and app development
- ⚡ Automation and personal productivity
- 🚀 Independent projects and experiments
💡 Why “Tinker Xiaoyao”?
The word “tinker” represents curiosity, exploration, and hands-on creation.
It means:
Don’t know something? Research it.
Can’t do something? Learn it.
Don’t have the perfect conditions? Find another way.
Life is long.
Instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity, sometimes it is better to simply start building something.
This blog is where I record that journey.
It is not a showcase of success. It is a continuously evolving notebook of experiments.
