About Hyunseok Cho
I\'m a Computer Engineering student at UIUC (graduating May 2026), joining Nextdoor as a Software Engineer this July.Over the past two summers, I\'ve worked on problems I genuinely find interesting: at Samsung SDS, I built a multimodal LLM agent that automates desktop tasks through visual reasoning, hitting 90%+ task success and cutting inference latency by 35% on H100 GPUs. Before that, at Deepdive, I shipped a full-stack product exchange system on GCP that reduced customer support workload by 40%.Outside of internships, I tend to build things that scratch a real itch. CoursePlanner helps UIUC engineering students map out their four years without the spreadsheet chaos, and my DSA Visualizer grew out of wanting a better way to actually see how algorithms behave.I\'m always happy to connect around backend infrastructure, LLM applications, or anything in the software space!
