A public shelf for software, systems, and learning communities — built across Apple platforms, game systems, robotics, and agentic AI.
Independent projects by Cheng Zhang. Public details are linked when available; unfinished work is marked clearly.
The current shelf
Where can a thoughtful tool make a person, a team, or a system easier to understand and easier to move through?
A focused iOS productivity app that helps students organize tasks and deadlines with less daily friction.
Built around Apple APIs and iCloud synchronization for a workflow that can follow you across devices.
A macOS systems utility exploring more intentional process placement on Apple Silicon.
The detailed project note and source repository live on the open-source page.
A long-running game development project built from the inside out, from character behavior to the systems that make a fight feel coherent.
Explores hand-built state machines, custom AI opponents, collision handling, and physics systems.
Captain coordinating software, electrical, and mechanical sub-teams around one working robot and one shared plan.
Programs autonomous control logic in Java while mentoring teammates across the boundaries between disciplines.
A teaching project that explains agentic AI, MCP, and multi-agent workflows to students and non-technical learners.
Turns fast-moving ideas into practical guides that give more people a useful starting point.
A team-built game project where design, engineering, and delivery had to come together under tight constraints.
A reminder that shipping a shared experience depends as much on communication and iteration as on implementation.
Beyond the code
The work is not only about implementation. Robotics, dialogue, and learning communities keep pulling the same thread: making collaboration more legible.
Coordinate software, electrical, and mechanical work around a shared physical system.
As a Schoolhouse Dialogue Club president and cohost, create room for questions, ideas, and people to meet.
Explain agentic AI, MCP, and multi-agent workflows so more people can participate in the tools shaping their work.
