About me
I am currently working on a new startup.
Previously, I worked on HCI and AI research at Columbia* and Seoul National University**. I was also an engineer at Sendbird and the South Korean intelligence sector. I received my MS in Computer Science at Columbia, where my thesis was on using generative language models for personalized learning. I completed my undergraduate degrees in Economics and Computer Science at Yonsei University.
I was born in Seoul. I have also lived in New York, Shanghai, and Taipei.
