Summary
Jihoon Kim is an engineering manager in the San Francisco Bay Area with eight years of experience building reliable distributed systems, sensor and display algorithms, and AI/ML-driven reliability tooling across Apple, AWS, and now LinkedIn. He has led availability and data-governance efforts for large-scale services (Redshift and privacy engineering) and previously developed low-level drivers and ML models for iOS/macOS hardware validation. Comfortable in ambiguous, interdisciplinary projects, he blends firmware-level signal processing with cloud-scale system design to bridge device and backend reliability. His background in chip design automation and Intel-era physical design gives him an uncommon systems-to-silicon perspective that informs pragmatic trade-offs. Known for curiosity-driven problem framing, he thrives on turning noisy sensor data and complex product constraints into robust, production-ready solutions.
