Anthony Garcia

Hi, This is Anthony Garcia (or Sewon Kim).

I'm an undergraduate student in ECE based at the UOS. I'm especially interested in robotics control using MPC and RL, and Physical AI. I love 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] 시대팅 Frontend Development

서울시립대학교 커뮤니티 앱 시대생의 프론트엔드 개발팀으로 활동하며 1700명의 신청을 받은 교내 미팅 서비스 시대팅을 개발하고 운영했습니다. 제 역할은 모든 사용자의 행복을 극대화하는 매칭 알고리즘 개발과 웹앱 프론트엔드 개발을 하는 것이었습니다. ‘서로가 이상형인 매칭을 제공하기 위해 어떤 정보를 수집할 것이며 구현이 가능한가’ 등에 대한 고민을 기획팀같이 논의해야 했으며, ‘어떤 디자인이 유저에게 친화적이며 개발에 용의한가’ 등에 대해 디자인 팀과 끊임없이 의견을 조율해야 했습니다. 이를 바탕으로 해당 앱의 프론트엔드를 개발했습니다.
