About
- I'm Yiqian Min, a semiconductor architect turned AI founder, with 15 years of experience spanning chip architecture, design verification, AI infrastructure, and cross-functional engineering leadership. My north star is to empower every silicon engineer to think and create like an architect, leveraging intelligent AI agents to accelerate innovation and push the boundaries of chip design. I'm currently building recursive self-improving chip design systems, starting with LLM evaluation.

Life
Outside work, pursues a healthy, highly disciplined lifestyle — consistent training as a long-term practice. Weekly: HIIT, running, strength / muscle training, yoga, and boxing. Also enjoys Spartan Race, Hyrox, and recreational running races. Likes reading books — though reads less than before, now that AI is around.
