Namgyu Ho is a PhD candidate in Artificial Intelligence at KAIST with nine years of engineering and research experience bridging production web systems and cutting‑edge LLM research. He led a distributed engineering team to rebuild a major cloud frontend in Angular and later initiated and co‑led a multi‑institution research project on Block Transformer efficiency at LG AI Research with collaborators including Google DeepMind. Equally comfortable shipping production code and publishing research, he holds a summa cum laude BS from Sogang and an MS in AI from KAIST. Based in Seoul, he combines academic rigor with practical product delivery, often serving as the connector between industry stakeholders and research teams. Notably, his trajectory shows a pattern of stepping into leadership roles early—running a student CS organization and guiding cross‑border dev teams—while now focusing on scalable LLM architectures.
