Minseok Lee is a machine learning engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in vision and generative models, currently deployed as a Forward Deployed Engineer at MakinaRocks. He built production-grade image tools at Hotpot.ai, including 2D background removal, text-and-image-to-image headshot/art generators, and document QA agents powered by Qwen2.5-VL. Minseok is proficient in customizing VLMs and diffusion models (ControlNet, IPA, cross-attention, SDXL/SD3/FLUX) and in practical model optimization—quantization, pruning, ONNX—targeted for constrained GPUs. His background in industrial and management engineering and early healthcare ML work gives him a strong blend of systems thinking and domain-driven data work. He’s comfortable across the ML stack from dataset curation and SFT/RLHF with PEFT to deployment, with a knack for squeezing high-performance models into real-world resource limits.
