Summary
Kyle Koh is a software engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack systems and developer-facing tools, currently contributing at Inflection.io from San Francisco. He blends strong engineering delivery—React/TypeScript front ends, Ruby on Rails back ends, AWS/Snowflake data pipelines, and GPU-accelerated processing—with a PhD-level grounding in Human-Computer Interaction from Seoul National University. As a former tech lead at Telegie he shipped WebXR/WASM experiences, CI/CD for native libraries, and GPU-heavy 3D video processing, and at Zeus he drove product lift by implementing an instant booking flow and large-scale integrations that scaled listings and revenue substantially. He cares about technical excellence and the human and social implications of products, and runs a competitive Wordle clone (wordleoff.com) that showcases his interest in interactive, user-facing systems. His background spans academic research, applied machine vision/OCR, and production-grade system design, giving him a rare mix of HCI insight and pragmatic engineering. Notably, he pairs deep research training with hands-on production work—from desktop codecs and remote-desktop prototypes at Samsung to performance-tuned data pipelines and pricing engines in the field.
