Summary
Jihwa Lee is a CTO and founder with 11 years of hands-on experience building embedded, real-time, and mobile systems, now leading ActionPower from Seoul. He combines academic rigor—a PhD from Seoul National University and instructor roles there—with practical engineering across automotive, speech recognition, and content-based network research cultivated during a fellowship at SRI International. His background spans low-level IPPBX and Windows application development to mobile apps and cyber-physical systems, giving him fluency from firmware to cloud-connected services. As a technical founder he bridges research and productization, translating ML and signal-processing concepts into deployable systems for constrained, safety-critical environments. An uncommon strength is his simultaneous engagement in teaching and industry, which keeps his leadership grounded in both cutting-edge theory and real-world delivery.
