I am currently working at Amazon Vancouver. Before joining Amazon, I worked in the Graphics R&D Group at Samsung Electronics and I led animation tasks for both AREmoji Editor Project and Digital Human Avatar Project as working on its animation pipeline design, integration of retargeting solutions, and performance optimization. I have studied physics-based animation and geometry processing to obtain a master’s degree at Ewha Womans University. Through my work experiences, I built up base skills such analysis, architecture, and optimization. In addition to that, my experience with Samsung gave me skills in agile software development along with close and active collaboration with other engineers from external companies.
As a software developer and a researcher, I love to share ideas, solve problems, and develop programs. My fulfillment comes only after finishing tasks with desired results.
