RLWRLD, Seoul

Data Team

• Built and curated robotic manipulation datasets in Isaac Sim, optimized dataset composition to achieve equivalent model accuracy with 50% reduced data volume.
• Fine-tuned and systematically benchmarked multiple VLA models (GR00T, π0, π0.5, BC-RNN-GMM), establishing performance baselines for robot foundation model training.
• Developed an end-to-end automated training and evaluation pipeline across Slurm and Kubernetes GPU clusters, reducing model setup time from 20 to 30 minutes to under 30 seconds.

Physixel Team

• Built simulated tactile and joint-torque sensing for dexterous bimanual manipulation in MuJoCo, and produced a multimodal robot-learning dataset for training world-action models and VLA policies.
• Integrating 3D geometry perception into VLA models via foundation model-based scene understanding, enabling multimodal sensor fusion (tactile, joint torque) for touch-aware dexterous manipulation policies.

w3company, Seoul

• Part of the R&D team developing machine learning–driven multi-module system for fake account detection and anomaly detection, patent filed for the technology.
• Built and evaluated deep learning image classifiers using Residual Networks (ResNet) for synthetic image detection, targeting AI-generated profile photos and fraudulent user identities.
• Developed and evaluated machine learning models for natural language processing tasks using BERT, with a focus on sentiment analysis and text classification to support improvements in a social networking app (Moji) and provide user engagement insights.
