About Me

I'm Seung—a consultant turned builder who's spent 18+ years solving problems in tech. My mindset is Kaizen: always learning, always improving, hopefully not solving the same problem twice, and working toward more challenging problems.

Currently leading operations for an Application Architecture team at a U.S. electric utility while building AI projects in my spare time through hands-on application. I started using ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI in April 2025 and began shipping SaaS prototypes deployed to AWS by June 2025.

I'm not claiming expert status—I'm applying what I learn in real projects and getting hands-on fast. Focus: building AI-powered tools and agentic AI chains that actually help people.

Beyond the Code

Beyond work, I'm balancing the digital world with real experiences:

  • International travel
  • Hiking
  • Yoga (practicing and teaching)
  • Keeping two feline overlords happy

My goal is to build brilliant AI that helps people—without torching the planet or our humanity. Open to opportunities with ethical AI teams focused on beneficial, accountable systems.

Ethical AI, Sans Doom

Building AI that helps people while respecting our planet and humanity—useful, accountable systems over hype or vibes 🙄

Thinking back at my Contemporary Issues in Computer Science coursework circa 2005, the topics we covered—automation, ethics, AI, and societal impact—feel more relevant than ever. Every AI company needs to establish their own constitutional framework. Transparency in AI values isn't optional; it's essential for building systems we can trust.

My goal is to build brilliant AI that actually helps people—without torching the planet or our humanity. I'm optimistic about AI's upside, and wary of a future where a few capture the gains while everyone else (and the environment) pays the bill. I favor useful, accountable systems over hype. If that's your lane, let's talk.

Guiding question: How do we use AI to create a better future for all—sustainably, fairly, and with real utility?
  • People-first utility: save time, expand access.
  • Planet-aware: efficiency over waste; footprint matters.
  • Accountable by design: clear guardrails, data respect, measurable impact.

Learning & Building Roadmap

I'm actively deepening my AI foundations while continuing to build. The goal: demonstrate practical skills across LLM integration, open-source model deployment, and production-ready AI features.

  • Foundations: Strengthening LLM concepts through applied learning (prompt engineering, RAG, vector databases).
  • Agentic Architecture: Building agentic AI pipelines and chains with configurable model swapping across agents, handlers, and decision points.
  • Productionizing: Adding guardrails, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines to SaaS projects for scalable, responsible AI integration.
Focus: Build useful, ethical, and production-ready AI systems — with visible, working projects along the way.
