Junkeun Yi is a research scientist and machine learning engineer with eight years of experience building and productionizing vision and language models from UC Berkeley. Currently at NVIDIA working on Nemotron post-training, he previously led post-training LLM improvements and enterprise-facing agentic capabilities at Nexusflow while designing end-to-end infrastructure for training, evaluation, and serving. His background blends hands-on research in object-centric video understanding at BAIR with practical systems work—Kubernetes automation and distributed database contributions—dating back to internships and NetSys projects. A KATUSA alumnus fluent in cross-cultural, high-stakes collaboration, he pairs rigorous academic training (BS and MS work at Berkeley) with applied ML at scale. Notably, he bridges research and engineering: optimizing model behavior post-training as well as the pipelines that make those models reliable in production.
