AI Engineer · Seoul, Korea

Lau Xia Jiun

3+ years building AI systems across medical imaging, 3D vision, time series, and generative data — for teams in Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, and Taiwan.

I take AI projects from an unsolved real-world problem to a working, measured system — usually in resource-constrained environments, often as the only engineer on the project.

Mammography AI program operations

Supported planning and operations for the mammography analysis AI program — data pipelines via AIHub, annotation tooling, plus a separate fracture-classification model's training/validation data QC.

→ Coordinated FDA approval process and Korea–Taiwan technical communication.

Multi-stage 3D object insertion for video

Built a workflow combining object detection, video inpainting, 3D reconstruction, and depth-aware insertion — replacing real objects in footage (e.g. a laptop) with 3D models.

→ Custom pipeline outperformed commercial tools (Luma Labs, Metashape) on the team's specific use case.

Satellite-data time series forecasting

Built and fully Dockerized a time series prediction model trained on satellite data, deployed as a self-contained, reproducible environment.

→ Delivered as a remote AI consultant, end-to-end from model to deployment.

Sperm motion analysis for infertility diagnosis

Built an AI model predicting sperm chromosome abnormality from motion-pattern data, supporting diagnosis of unexplained male infertility.

→ Helped secure ₩300M in government AI Voucher funding. Published at ICGHIT 2023.

VQGAN-based test scoring for developmental assessment

Built an AI scoring model for the Beery-VMI visual-motor integration test. Used VQGAN to generate synthetic test images, solving a severe data scarcity problem for this clinical population.

→ Published at Korean Society of Rehabilitation Robotics 2022 and ICGHIT 2023.

GAN-based data augmentation for CAD/PLC classification

Applied a GAN to amplify a CAD-drawing dataset for an elevator-control PLC auto-generation system, then trained a PyTorch classifier with incremental learning on the expanded set.

→ Increased the dataset 10× — from 700K to 7M records.

Geospatial crime risk-prediction model

Used QGIS and GeoPandas to engineer spatial features from crime data, then trained a LightGBM model to predict high-risk areas for the Smart Policing Seoul Center initiative.

→ Achieved 80% prediction accuracy.

Multi-Item Inventory Control Model with a Budget Constraint Using Reinforcement Learning

Lau Xia Jiun · Advisor: Daeki Min · 2021

Problem: Classic supply-chain ordering (the "beer game" / bullwhip-effect problem) gets harder when multiple items compete for one shared budget — standard Q-Learning has no way to respect that constraint.

Approach: Modeled ordering as an MDP (state = inventory/backlog, action = discrete order quantities, reward = −total cost) and trained with Q-Learning. Added OptLayer — a constrained quadratic-programming layer originally built for robot-arm reaching tasks (Pham et al., 2018) — repurposed here to project any budget-violating order onto the nearest feasible one.

Result: Benchmarked against plain Q-Learning, a classic Lagrangian heuristic, and the textbook EOQ formula. Q-Learning + OptLayer achieved the lowest total cost of all four approaches.

Illustrator recommendation chatbot (RAG)

Python · ChromaDB · LangChain

Studio2J is a proxy-buying service I run for Korean illustrator stationery, tracking live markets across Seoul and Tokyo fairs. I'm building a RAG chatbot trained on real illustrator data I've collected — customers describe what they like, and it recommends matching illustrators from an actual, curated dataset rather than a generic catalog.
