Projects

A place to show the products and projects that I am building or have built. You can see demos of some things I built at tools.brianshin.me.

  • Unlocalized - “Business stories from the other side.” A live show and podcast I co-host with Jay Lee from Seoul about the founders and businesses in Korea (and increasingly the rest of Asia) that English-language media overlooks. We have published over 20 long-form episodes since April 2026, many of them livestreamed, and now put most of our energy into short-form: Reels, Shorts, and TikToks cut from the episodes and filmed on their own. I also build the show’s production tooling: the OBS overlays, a producer-driven live ticker, and an AI live-summary worker that drafts on-screen recap lines. Visit unlocalizedpod.com, watch on YouTube, listen on RSS.com, follow on Instagram, or read the newsletter. More about the show and my role in it here.

  • Dubcap - Create short-form content for social media from your long-form videos. Reach your target audience across social media platforms automatically with the most interesting moments from your podcast, webinar, or videos.

  • Andrea - Your executive assistant that can actually do complex tasks for you - manage emails, coordinate and schedule meetings in your calendar, create and update docs and spreadsheets in Google Drive. Voice-first on mobile for the busy professional on the go. Inspired by The Devil Wears Prada :)

  • CalorieCoach - A calorie tracking AI coach app I built for people who eat a lot of Korean foods. Take a picture of your meals, and get nutrient information, track your calories/macros, and get personalized feedback and coaching based on your goals and diet history. You can find it on the App Store as well as Google Play.

  • TranscriptBuddy - Transcribe and summarize an online video so you can read what it’s about before you actually watch.

  • Youtube Translate - A tool to create translated subtitles for your Youtube videos.

  • SVL Simulator - A free and open autonomous vehicle simulator. It served as the default simulator for the open source Autoware AV stack and was downloaded more than 50,000 times on Github.

  • webOS Robotics - Web-app enabled robotics. Bringing ROS/ROS2 support for OpenEmbedded and webOS, LG's embedded Linux operating system. You can see our latest presentation about it from ROSCon 2019 here. You can see my ROSCon 2018 Lightning Talk here. Our team's work on Github now features over 100 clones and 500 visitors daily.

  • Autoware Foundation Technical Steering Committee - I represented LG Electronics on the Autoware Foundation as a member of the Technical Steering Committee. The Autoware Foundation is a non-profit focused on bringing about autonomous driving technology through open source efforts and collaboration.

  • Logistics Tech Review - I used to publish the Logistics Tech Review, a newsletter about technology and automation in the logistics and supply chain industries.

  • ROS2 Technical Steering Committee - I was a founding representative of the ROS2 Technical Steering Committee from 2018 to 2020 for LG Electronics. The Technical Steering Committee oversees and organizes development of the next generation Robot Operating System, ROS2.

  • My personal website - I created and maintain this website. It is built with Jekyll, and hosted and deployed with Gitlab Pages.

  • My publications
