Summary
Yunho Choi is a Seoul-based machine learning engineer with 10 years of experience building production ML systems and backend services. He has applied research expertise in detection, generative models, table and text recognition, and face reconstruction from roles at TmaxSoft and WINSLAB, and moved those skills into production at Riiid where he built FastAPI-based AI servers, managed vector search on AWS OpenSearch, and automated model productization and deployment on Kubernetes and Databricks. At Toss he continues to bring ML-driven features to market, blending deep learning research with pragmatic engineering. He also has strong backend experience—shipping Django REST and Java Dropwizard services and optimizing server cost and performance—which helps him bridge research models and scalable production systems. Notably, he led efforts that doubled user retention via a content-based push project and set up model A/B testing and monitoring practices that institutionalized ML quality in product settings.
