About me

My name is Haoxuan Dong, and I also use the name Jason. I am currently studying in Melbourne, Australia, while using my time outside school for software development, AI experiments, and independent research.

I began using AI tools systematically in September 2025, first to learn unfamiliar concepts and organise information. By January 2026, I was working with agent systems that could handle files, call tools, run code, and keep working toward a goal. That shift made me interested in what makes a complete technical system reliable, as well as what its models can generate.

Moving to Australia made this exploration easier. Services, documentation, open-source projects, and payment methods became more accessible, shortening the distance between “I want to try this” and “I can begin.”

I usually begin with an idea, then ask whether it is worth the time, what I can realistically take on, and whether I can see it through to a complete result. AI helps me explore unfamiliar fields and develop ideas beyond what I already know.

I welcome AI in analysis, programming, and checking, but it has also made one thing increasingly important to me: being able to produce a result with AI is not the same as genuinely understanding it. I want to be able to explain a project’s core logic, key judgments, and verification process—and take responsibility for its final result.

I have not yet decided whether my future direction will be software, computing, or medicine. I hope to study at the University of Melbourne and remain interested in work at the intersection of technology and medicine.

MidnightDesk is where I keep this work and its surrounding context. It is not a product homepage or an extended résumé: the site collects public projects, research, and notes while also keeping some of the thinking behind them.
