The bottleneck in applied ML is rarely the model.

It is the distance between the model and the customer who has to act on it. I build production LLM and prediction systems and then embed with the internal teams that depend on them. Automotive exterior design in Turin, HCI research at KAIST, production ML in consumer electronics — the through-line is that I was the customer I now build for.

2022–now Seoul

Senior Researcher

LG Electronics, Business eXperience Informatics

  • Built a multi-agent analysis system over survey data and its routing layer. When FAISS retrieval proved too slow for the full dataset, I replaced it with agents defined from metadata keywords and sent every numeric question to deterministic code. It now sits behind internal reports and leadership presentations.
  • Built, in a one-month sprint with HR, an MVP of a synthetic persona system for pre-flight focus-group interviews. The direction grew into a larger employee-research project, now carried forward by an external firm.
  • Designed and built the core of a multi-pillar customer data intelligence platform within a team: 26,000 respondents across Korea, the United States and Vietnam, 3,500+ variables, a JSON-based store designed for analyst self-service.
  • Purchase prediction at 83% accuracy, life-event forecasting at 87%. Both consumed directly by marketing and CX teams, not by a dashboard.

2022–2024 alongside

AI Consultant, Code V

  • YOLOv5 defect detection across three product categories: 98% precision, mAP@50 of 87%. Custom augmentation for the long-tail defect classes that made the baseline unusable in production.

Chief Product Officer, Dream2Real

  • Synthetic data generation for data-scarce domains, with digital twin environments in Unreal Engine and Blender where real capture was not viable.

2020–2022 Daejeon

Design Researcher, MS Industrial Design

KAIST

  • GP22, first author, CVPR Workshops 2022: 1,480 side-profile images across 37 brands and 10 segments, with a YOLOv5 design-feature detector. Dataset public on Zenodo.
  • Kia Design Center, PBV active lighting: interior lighting scenarios and VR-based UX testing with Kia's own designers as participants.
  • LS Automotive, affective lighting: EEG-based validation of emotional lighting scenarios. Published in IEEE Access.

2016–2019 Turin

Exterior Designer

Changan European Design Center

  • Key exterior designer on Changan's first platform-based vehicle (UNI-V); owned surface refinement and the handoff between CAD and clay modelling teams.
  • Facelifts for production sedans (C301, C201). Eado XT (C211) sketches on the cover of Auto & Design, 2018.
  • Exterior contributions to the Jiliu and Yuyue concepts, Shanghai Auto Show 2017.

2011–2015 Detroit

BFA, Transportation Design

College for Creative Studies

I build data products the way a single stroke of light sets a volume in car design: nothing that doesn't carry the argument stays on the page, and no figure that can't be checked goes in the answer.

Arguments

Each one is a claim, a build that tests it, and the measurement. The failures are part of the record.

Who did the math?

When an LLM does the analysis, it invents the numbers. When it only narrates numbers you computed, it doesn't. Ten questions on a synthetic 10,000-household vehicle panel, three ways of answering, every number checked — eight runs across five labs. The naive-grounded model read individual records perfectly and got every aggregate wrong. The same model run twice moved more than two different labs did.

Proportion, by segment

GP22: 1,480 car side profiles across 37 brands and 10 segments, with a detector for the six design features that define a profile — body, bodyside, cabin, daylight opening, wheel, tire — at 0.995 mAP. First author, CVPR Workshops 2022. Now an interactive proportion tool: one side-profile line, the six GP22 boxes, every length in tire diameters, fourteen real cars as presets you can morph between.

Planned

Timeline-first synthetic panels

The generator, generalized: customers as lives rather than rows, so that causal questions have real answers to test against.
