About Me

[UPDATE 💡] I moved to Mountain View, California in December 24, concluding my chapter in Tokyo! Also, I joined Google Labs to make a new AI product for Google on July 25, leaving Gemini App team.

Hi, I’m Jiho. I am a product developer and researcher, building products with machine learning and natural language processing (NLP).

I like to write about machine learning, NLP, AI and product development. I also write in Korean.

Currently, I am working on a new AI product that aims to innovate how people work.

I’ve been at Google since 2020, starting from Japan, working on these products:

1. labs.google,
2. gemini.google.com,
3. Assistant (OK Google)

I am interested in various areas of AI/ML/NLP product building:

• Context Engineering,
• User Experience (UX) Design,
• User Behavior Logging & Data Mining,
• Data Engineering Infrastructure,
• Multilingual NLP

Before Google, I was doing NLP research at HKUST.

I worked in multiple startups in Korea, HK as an intern, founding engineer, employee, etc.

Since 2023, I participate in Google for Startup Accelerator (GFSA) Korea program as a tech mentor.

I grew up in Korea, but spent most of my 20s in Hong Kong, and then 5 years in Japan! I picked up different culture and languages along the way!
