Sewon Kim's Profile

Embodied System, Optimal Control, and Robot Learning

This is Sewon Kim. I'm an undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering based at the Unitversity of Seoul. I've been focusing on optimal control and robot learning. I enjoy bringing mathematically sophisticated theory into the physical world but strive to maintain a sense of balance between theory and implementation.

[03/07/2022-01/31/2023] μ‹œλŒ€νŒ… Frontend Development

I worked as a member of the frontend development team for UOSLIFE, a community app for the University of Seoul. Our team developed and operated μ‹œλŒ€νŒ…, an on-campus matchmaking service that received over 1,700 applications. My role was to develop a matching algorithm that maximized user satisfaction and to build the web app frontend. I collaborated closely with the project planning team to discuss questions such as, "What information should we collect to provide ideal matches for both users, and is it technically feasible?" I also continuously coordinated with the design team to find a balance between user-friendly design and development feasibility. Based on these collaborations, I developed the frontend for the app.
