About

I’ve been living in Seoul, South Korea since December 2024. I was in the San Francisco Bay Area for 8 years before that.

I was born in Seoul, moved to the States when I was six, and mostly grew up near Denver, Colorado, where I graduated high school. I played a lot of tennis and watched a lot of sageuk (Korean historical dramas), back when you had to download them to your iPod on iTunes :).

I studied electrical engineering at Harvard, then came to UC Berkeley for a masters in EECS focusing in robotics and embedded systems.

I moved to the Bay Area to work at LG Electronics as a software engineer on automotive and embedded software. After a couple years, I became a product manager, where I launched an open autonomous vehicle simulator, started a new robotics business initiative at LG, and led LG's involvement as a founding member of the ROS Technical Steering Committee.

After that, I was a product manager at Waymo, working on simulation and evaluation of self-driving cars for public road deployment. Specifically, I worked on simulation agents and how to make AI traffic agents act as realistic as possible so that the self-driving car behavior was validated before being tested on public roads and human traffic.

Most recently, I founded Silver Flight Group to build tools for content creators looking to reach global audiences.

I love to play golf and tennis, and have served as co-president of the Stanford Korean Graduate Student Tennis Association (open to the community).
