IRAP grant secured and managed for core product roadmap execution.
Senior Technical PM | Robotics, hardware-software systems, AI-assisted workflows
From field signal to usable technical products.
I build product direction where customer discovery, engineering constraints, operational reality, and interface quality all need to meet.
Voice of Customer interviews completed in two months for 0-to-1 discovery.
Company revenue represented by the Pipe Trekker product line.
Estimated support ticket reduction after first-year product improvements.
Public Product Surface
Products I helped move from technical possibility toward field usefulness.
Former Deep Trekker work included roadmap, launch, firmware, customer feedback, and delivery touchpoints across inspection robotics and underwater systems.

Senior PM signal is not volume. It is the quality of decisions under constraints.
Owned roadmap direction for a revenue-significant robotics product line.
Led the Pipe Trekker line through market feedback, engineering tradeoffs, vendor sourcing, demos, and training for international infrastructure, inspection, and public-sector customers.
- Partnered with about 10 engineers across electrical, mechanical, firmware, frontend, and UI design.
- Worked closely with service and production to connect roadmap decisions to field reliability.
- Represented hundreds of customer conversations and support patterns in product planning.
Moved A-200 from prototype coordination to launch readiness.
Coordinated prototyping, testing, launch planning, and bi-weekly sprint rhythm across cross-functional teams for the A-200 pipe inspection robot.
- Balanced technical readiness with field expectations and serviceability.
- Helped reduce support burden by an estimated 80% after first-year product improvements.
- Translated field feedback into practical changes instead of abstract wishlist items.
Shaping a 0-to-1 rapid electronics prototyping product.
Collaborating with educators, engineers, and researchers to define product direction for in-development tools, while managing grant-funded roadmap execution.
- Secured and managed a $400,000 IRAP grant.
- Conducted 83 Voice of Customer interviews in two months to surface actionable launch features.
- Used AI-assisted development to turn complex spreadsheets into visualizations for cross-team decisions.
Product Taste
What I look for in excellent UI.
State is visible
Users should know what the system sees, what it is doing, and what needs attention.
Complexity is inspectable
A good interface does not hide complexity. It makes the right layers available at the right time.
Errors have exits
Field tools must help users recover quickly when conditions are imperfect.
Operators move faster
The interface should reduce uncertainty, not just look cleaner in a demo.
AI Prototype Lab
Fast prototypes that turn fuzzy product questions into something testable.
I use AI-assisted builds to explore product behavior. These small tools helped me test interaction loops around feedback, attention, coaching, privacy, and what a user should see at the exact moment they need to act.
PostureCorrector
Private posture feedback with stretch guidance built into the loop.
A browser-based MediaPipe prototype that explores how real-time posture signal can become lightweight coaching: calibration, live feedback, Pomodoro-aware stretch prompts, and visual trend history without sending video off-device.

Distraction Detector
Attention-state sensing that closes the loop with intervention and reporting.
A desktop prototype using OpenCV, MediaPipe Face Mesh, and audio prompts to detect off-screen attention states, cue a reset, and summarize distraction patterns after the session.

Technical Workbench
Earlier engineering projects that still shape my product judgment.
Before product management, I built and analyzed physical systems. That background helps me evaluate tradeoffs in manufacturability, controls, serviceability, and UI clarity with more than surface-level fluency.
ANSYS
Bike Frame Fatigue Analysis
Used variable meshing and equivalent stress mapping to inspect critical areas in a CAD model.
CATIA V5
Carbon Fiber Tube Cutting Rig
Designed an automated electro-mechanical cutting system using sensors, motors, limit switches, Arduino, and simplified bushing-based mechanics.
SOLIDWORKS
Automated Cooker Spice Capsules
Designed a hopper mechanism that dispensed controlled spice amounts, reduced clogging, and supported top-down assembly without bolts.
SOLIDWORKS
Drone PID Tuning Prototype
Built early drone prototypes and test fixtures that isolated pitch, yaw, or roll for controls tuning.
CATIA V5
Telecommunications Radio Case
CADed ports, antennas, snapping locks, mechanical buttons, and transparent COM-port material for LED visibility.
DFM
Plastic Component Design
Explored ribs, wall thickness, transparent LED lenses, and experimental snap clips for manufacturable plastic parts.
CATIA V5
PCB Assembly and Arm Fixture
Positioned board components, animated uSD card insertion, and derived fixture surfaces from existing parts.
MASTERCAM
MasterCAM Tutorial Book
Authored a mechanical design tutorial for high school students, covering shield part design and routing a wooden block with MasterCAM.
Cross-Cultural Product Sense
My background helps me hear what users mean before they can package it neatly.
I am Korean, was born in Mexico and grew up there until high school, and have lived in Canada since university. I also have basic Japanese proficiency. That mix has made me comfortable moving between languages, norms, expectations, and communication styles.
As a PM, that matters. It helps me ask better follow-up questions, notice when feedback is shaped by culture or context, and translate ambiguous customer signal into product decisions that work for more than one idealized user.
Positioning
Technical product leadership for products that cannot be reduced to a screen.
My background spans mechatronics engineering, embedded robotics, firmware leadership, project execution, and product management. That means I can move comfortably between field pain points, system architecture, manufacturing constraints, interface decisions, and executive roadmap tradeoffs.
I am strongest when the product is complex, the user environment is messy, and the answer requires both technical fluency and unusually clear product taste.
