About
I work on vehicle autonomy, numerical solvers, vision, and telemetry systems.
Mechanical & Computer Engineering student at Tech University of Korea (한국공학대학교), with a focus on control and numerical methods.
Background
I started programming physics and control systems in Garry's Mod with E2 / Wiremod. The projects included vehicle dynamics, suspension, flight models, and telemetry.
That work provided an early environment for learning integration, feedback control, and instrumentation. I now apply those topics in standalone solvers, vehicle software, and data-collection systems.
What I'm doing
- Maintainer, Autoware Universe autoware_carla_interface — the CARLA simulator bridge for Autoware.
- Autonomous Driving Team Lead, HuVILab (2026–present) — vehicle autonomy and vision, including mapless parking and HERO.
- Race engineer, Luxon Racing — GT-A class, O-NE SUPERRACE CHAMPIONSHIP; telemetry and data analysis. Team’s first podium at Round 5, 2026: P3 with driver Jinwook Choi.
- KSAE 2024 Smart e-Mobility (EV) — Encouragement Prize.

The method is what ballistic-solver keeps as solve_aux. DBpia ↗
Open source
I maintain autoware_carla_interface in Autoware Universe, with
eight changes merged into it — sensor publish timing, capture rate, capture-frame timestamps, mono8/bgr8 camera output,
depth and semantic cameras, configurable IMU/GNSS noise, and gear-command handling. The appointment was announced in KSAE member news. The measurements are in the portfolio.
