About

Hello! I am an overexcited AI entrepreneur on a mission to illuminate paths to joy, peace, and love for everyone I serve! 🚀 I graduated with my Master's from KAIST AI (advised by Se-Young Yun), and now I'm building AI tutors that make learning a new language not only dramatically faster, but also more joyful.

Beyond the code, I'm an avid runner, YouTuber, taekwondo practitioner, and music composer. You can feel my energy in my song, "The Overexcited Boy."
