Hyeong-seob Kim

I am an AI Research Engineer at Braincrew, a deep-tech company in South Korea. Originally trained in architectural engineering, I spent a decade in the construction industry before moving into AI. Since then I have delivered AI transformation (AX) projects for major enterprise groups, and I founded WIGTN, an independent research group where I pursue research in NLP and speech AI.

Research interests: AI transformation of legacy systems, real-time speech translation, document understanding, production ML deployment, GPU acceleration
