Hey, I'm

MingZ

Building bots, AI tools, and smart home automation.

See my projects Read the blog

I'm a full-stack developer who builds things on evenings and weekends — chatbots, AI tools, smart home setups, and whatever catches my attention.

This site is where I share my projects, write about stuff I've figured out, and keep a running log of what I'm shipping.

Most of my work involves .NET, React, Azure, and Python. Lately I've been deep into AI agents, MCP servers, and home automation with UniFi + Home Assistant.
