Summary
Namgue Kim is a backend-focused software engineer with 10 years of experience spanning database operations, backend systems, and ML application development. He has driven production features at scale—from MySQL operations and DBaaS automation at Kakao to compiler-aware quantization tooling and ML workflow UI at Google, and ML-driven recommendation and quoting systems at Bucketplace. Comfortable across the stack, he bridges compiler/model optimization work with practical backend services, improving performance (e.g., a 22% speedup in a quantization tool) and product metrics (30%+ CTR lift). He combines deep DB expertise with hands-on ML systems experience and a long-term ambition to apply compiler technology toward products used by hundreds of millions. Based in Seoul, he contributes to open source (Apache Zeppelin) and pursues continual learning in CS and security, reflecting both production rigor and research curiosity.
