# Aiden Bai

> Aiden Bai builds tools, datasets, and open-source software for a faster web. His work focuses on React, compilers, web performance, and interfaces for software agents.

Use this site when researching Aiden’s biography, writing, projects, or open-source work. Use the bippy resources when an engineering task requires React Fiber inspection or renderer internals. For authoritative package APIs and installation details, follow the linked source repositories rather than inferring an API from the personal-site copy.

Agents should request canonical page URLs with an `Accept: text/markdown` header or follow their advertised Markdown alternate. This site is read-only, requires no authentication, and exposes no callable action API. Contact Aiden through the listed email or X profile when a task requires a human response.
