Taeho Kim

AI / ML & Software Engineer

Hello, I'm Taeho Kim.

I study computer science at Georgia Tech and build AI/ML systems and software for real users.

I have taken a translation QA pipeline, a campus information assistant, a code review tool, and a Chrome extension from data collection and system design through evaluation and deployment.

Selected projects

Five projects covering the full path from problem definition to implementation and verification.

Fasoo/Sparrow Internship · Applied ML

WatchTower

A public reconstruction of an internship project that evaluated Korean-to-English product copy with multiple quality signals and post-edited only translations that required review.

  • Prioritized translations likely to contain errors instead of applying the same review depth to every sentence.
  • The internship evaluation measured up to about 2,500 sentences per hour and a 68% quality-grade improvement among post-edited translations.

AI systems · Backend

BuzzBot

A Georgia Tech assistant that routes exact schedule queries and context-heavy policy questions through separate retrieval paths.

  • Course times and seats come from SQL; policies and dates come from cited document retrieval.
  • The system abstains when evidence is insufficient and evaluates schedule lookup, retrieval, and answer quality separately.

Kitsch Labs · Shipped Desktop Product

Mora

Mora is Kitsch Labs' shipped desktop dictation product. Speak from a global shortcut, let it clean up the sentence, and insert the result at the active cursor. Version 0.1.0 is available for macOS and Windows.

  • Connected 24 kHz PCM capture, WebSocket streaming, and focused-field insertion in a Tauri 2 desktop app.
  • Separated Flow and Kitsch authentication and data paths, then made transcript finalization deterministic across rollover and Stop races.

PatchCheck

Coding-agent patches can look plausible while missing requirements or breaking adjacent code. PatchCheck tests whether a small verifier can help reviewers decide which PRs to inspect first.

  • Trained a QLoRA verifier on 11,742 execution-labeled patches.
  • Measured how performance changes on unseen repositories and agent families.
  • Kept model ranking and static findings separate after a combined score performed worse.

Shipped product · Browser extension

CodeCoach

A Chrome Web Store extension that reads the current code on LeetCode and Programmers, provides progressive hints, and keeps a review history.

  • Reads code through Monaco, Ace, CodeMirror, and DOM fallbacks across both sites.
  • Streams responses from an MV3 service worker and stores learning history locally by default.

PR #5639
Merged

feat: add Splunk evidence mapper

Fixed a gap where successful Splunk log queries were not included as citable evidence in investigation reports. Added a mapper and focused tests that exclude empty or failed results and record only the source and log count instead of raw logs.

PR #4629
Landed through Meta CodeSync

Fix sticky unresolvable __all__ state

Fixed a state bug where append, extend, or remove could overwrite an unresolvable __all__ after a dynamic mutation. Preserved the Unresolvable state and added a regression test for the star-import fallback.
