Summary
Sungwoo Koo is a software engineer with eight years of experience specializing in autonomous driving, robot learning, and control systems at NAVER LABS in Seoul. He blends research and production work—conducting field tests, building teleoperation and failsafe systems, and shipping real-time analysis, monitoring dashboards, and vehicle abstraction interfaces. His background in smart systems software and hands-on projects (from a 3D LiDAR annotation tool to map-manipulation tooling for Autoware) gives him a strong systems and tooling mindset across frontend and backend domains. He also explores generative models and reinforcement learning for planning and control, bringing a research-forward perspective to operational safety and validation. Notably, he has driven end-to-end solutions that turn experimental algorithms into robust, field-tested vehicle systems.
