About

Positioning (TL;DR)

I work at the boundary where AI systems meet real-world regulation.

My focus is not model performance, but:

• how AI is embedded into public decision systems,
• how risks are identified before harm occurs,
• and how accountability is maintained after deployment.

Selected Work

AI-based Product Safety & Recall Information System (2025)

• Context: National market surveillance and product safety regulation
• Focus: AI-enabled data collection, risk detection, and operational deployment
• Status: Deployed and used in real government operations

📄 Detailed performance report (PDF, 한글):

• 2025 AI-based Product Safety System – Performance Report

Selected Projects (GitHub)

• AI Product Safety Automation
  Design and implementation of an AI-assisted system to collect, structure, and analyze product safety and recall information for regulatory and market surveillance environments.
  This project emphasizes practical system design, traceability, and real-world applicability over model-centric experimentation.

• Vibe-Coded Regulatory Document Parsing (Advanced MVP)
  Experiments on transforming complex regulatory and standard documents into structured, machine-readable data using document parsing pipelines.
  The focus is on enabling downstream AI systems to reliably consume policy and technical texts.
  Repository: https://github.com/HouuYa/upstage-docuparse-adv.-mvpv0.1

• Vibe-Coded Rule-based RAG System (Tennis Mate)
  An end-to-end prototype built on Supabase that integrates structured domain rules with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
  The project explores vibe coding as a way to rapidly iterate from domain intuition to working systems, using formal rule documents as a stand-in for legal and regulatory texts.
