About

I am an electrical engineering student and undergraduate researcher interested in robot learning, control, and intelligent physical systems. I work across research and prototypes, from reinforcement and imitation learning to embedded control, power electronics, and hardware integration.

I like turning an initial idea into a working and explainable system. That means defining the problem carefully, building the implementation, testing it under realistic conditions, and documenting both results and failures so that the work can be improved or reused.

How I Work

I keep structured records of experiments, design decisions, reports, and project materials. Clear documentation is part of how I make technical work reproducible and useful to a team.
I am comfortable moving between software and hardware: machine-learning models, simulation, web interfaces, embedded controllers, power systems, and physical prototypes.
I take ownership of the details needed to finish a project, while listening closely to teammates and users. I value reliable collaboration as much as technical depth.

Beyond Engineering

I tend to follow a question until I have built something to answer it. That habit has taken me from circuits to control, from robot learning to writing about it, and from home servers to mountain trails.

Now reading: Jeremy Rifkin’s Entropy (since Sep 2026). Last finished: Goethe Said Everything by Yui Suzuki.
Homelab: I run a 9 TB TrueNAS server at home, and I am setting up an M6 Mac mini as an always-on server for automation and AI workloads.
Photography and video: More than ten years behind a camera, from portraits to landscapes, including a stretch of chasing dark skies to photograph the Milky Way. I edit in Lightroom, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, and Premiere Pro. Before engineering, I wanted to make science documentaries; I still love explaining how things work.
Writing and teaching: I write long-form explainers on my blog, from Diffusion from Zero to Coding in the Age of AI, and turned the AI series into a six-week class for friends.
A daily record: I have kept a diary every day since September 13, 2021, the day I enlisted. That is 1,886 days so far.
Military service: Served in the Republic of Korea Army intelligence branch (2021–2023) as a squad leader; honorably discharged as a sergeant.
