Jihoon Kim is an AI research engineer and lead based in Seoul with 11 years of experience focused on generative AI and human motion synthesis. He has progressed from machine learning scientist roles to leadership at Cinamon, with research stints at Kakao Brain and industry experience applying ML in product settings. Jihoon pairs strong academic foundations—a MS in Artificial Intelligence and a summa cum laude BS in Electronic Engineering—with hands-on engineering, exemplified by Python implementations of data structures and algorithms on his GitHub. He is comfortable moving ideas from research prototypes to production-ready systems and often bridges deep learning research with practical backend development. Notably, his background includes non-traditional industry experience in commercial underwriting, which contributes to a pragmatic, risk-aware approach to model design and deployment.
