Profile

Software engineer turned data scientist, now retraining in health data. Six years across live game development, NLP product engineering and commercial analytics — shipping client features for a title that reached ten million players, building question-answering APIs in production, and turning fragmented catalogues and storefronts into datasets teams could actually report on. Currently reading for an MSc in Biomedical Informatics at the National University of Singapore, pairing that engineering background with clinical and statistical grounding. Native in Korean and English. Open to roles and research collaborations in Singapore.
