Work Experience

AI Software Engineer at DO U Inc.
June 1, 2024 - Present
Built and optimized data pipelines and integrated LLM-powered features into DO U products using FastAPI, LangChain, and LLM APIs. Designed and deployed backend services and APIs, improving scalability and reliability with Docker, PostgreSQL, and Celery. Collaborated on database modeling and integration, ensuring efficient data retrieval and supporting AI-driven workflows. Participated in agile development processes, including sprint planning, code reviews, optimizations, and cross-team collaboration. Developed LangGraph-based AI agents featuring FastAPI microservices, asynchronous streaming endpoints, and Streamlit chat interface.
AI Research Intern at DataUS Inc.
August 31, 2023 - October 16, 2025
Conducted research on evaluation benchmarks to assess the local Korean pre-trained language model sourced from HuggingFace. Trained and fine-tuned a Large Korean auto-regressive language model with prompt engineering techniques, improving output accuracy by 20% across NLP tasks such as Text Classification, Summarization, and Information Retrieval. Used a text-generation web UI to interface with the model and experimented with hyperparameters and their effect on output.
Research Intern at Artificial Intelligence Challenges Program (UNIST)
October 31, 2024 - October 16, 2025
Research topic: Developing a chatbot to assist individuals in making informed financial decisions. Designed a decision-support chatbot, integrating ML models (Mamba, XGBoost) for stock prediction and product recommendations. Built a crawling model to extract real-time financial data and corporate information from securities sites. Applied BER T-based NLP models to summarize and generate concise company insights.
Student Researcher at Brain to Society Industry-Friendly Research Project (UNIST)
December 31, 2022 - October 16, 2025
Interpretable machine learning models for Ulsan housing market analysis. Researched the construction of housing market analysis models using site and spatial characteristics from the Seoul dataset. Assessed how ML can improve the understanding of housing market changes and the effect of features on prediction. Implemented LightGBM, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, OLS, Lasso/Ridge, and Bayesian regression algorithms.
