About Me

I am currently a Senior AI Research Engineer at Nota AI, specializing in hardware-aware Large Language Model (LLM) quantization, inference optimization, and compression. Previously, I worked at Xiaomi as a Machine Learning Engineer, where I focused on accelerating Xiaomi LLM and developing large-scale recommender systems. I received an M.S. in Computer Science from Seoul National University, advised by Prof. U Kang, with research in deep learning model compression.
