Profile
I’m a production software engineer in automotive infotainment systems, but my actual path runs from hardware circuit design, through embedded and application software, to the agile process that ships it across a multinational team.
I currently run the Scrum process for the Factory Inspection Function on Renault’s next-generation in-vehicle platform, coordinating development across Qualcomm, Ampere, and LG. That means translating chipset-level changes and inspection requirements into a sprint backlog a Korea–Vietnam team can actually execute against. In an earlier role on another Renault program, I standardized factory verification methods across two client models and rolled them out consistently across factories in Korea, Vietnam, Poland, and Mexico; before that, refactoring a bottlenecked inspection program lifted a production line’s throughput from roughly 200 to 300 units per hour.
Along the way I’ve worked daily with teams in Vietnam and China, and with clients in France and Japan, across enough time zones and working styles that translating between them has become as much a part of the job as writing code. I don’t fit neatly into one job title, and at this point in my career that’s less a gap to fix than a foundation to build the next role on.
Work Experience
LG Electronics — VS Division, AVN SW Development
Senior Researcher · Apr 2017 – Present · Seoul, South Korea
- Since 2023, running the Scrum process for the Factory Inspection Function on Renault’s next-generation in-vehicle platform, coordinating development across Qualcomm, Ampere, and LG
- Architected the factory-only dual-boot mode on the QNX Hypervisor platform, including its lifecycle design
- Standardized factory (EOL) verification methods across Renault and Nissan models and rolled them out consistently across factories in Korea, Vietnam, Poland, and Mexico
- Refactored a bottlenecked inspection program, lifting a production line’s throughput from roughly 200 to 300 units per hour (UPH)
- Built AVN diagnosis SW for DTC operation (ISO 15031), a diagnostic test tool for developers, and C++ libraries over Android HIDL interfaces, using UDS (ISO 14229-5) and DoIP (ISO 13400-2) stacks
- Designed production data-flow infrastructure for Google RKP, Widevine key provisioning, buyer part authentication, and Qualcomm SKU processing
- Built an internal retrieval layer (RAG with a knowledge graph) over mail, team chat, meeting transcripts and Confluence/JIRA history, including automated linkage of mail threads to the JIRA issues they concern
- Automated sprint reporting over the JIRA REST API (JQL), with stale-ticket auto-commenting and a team dashboard
- Rebuilt an unbuildable legacy FactoryOS build environment as a reproducible container image, removing a single-machine dependency
