Language Engineer @ Amazon
About
I’m a Language Engineer at Amazon within AGI Data Services, where I build high-fidelity language datasets, evaluation frameworks, and data curation pipelines that form the foundation for measurable AI model improvement.I hold a PhD in Linguistics, specializing in computational linguistics and experimental psycholinguistics, and bring 10+ years of experience across experimental language science, speech/EEG research, and applied NLP. My work translates how humans process meaning and prediction into scalable, model-facing diagnostics. I bridge human language processing evidence with data-centric LLM development by designing benchmarks and rubrics grounded in real language use, running rigorous error analyses, and turning insights into evaluation and annotation programs that scale.[Highlights]- 10+ years working with large-scale human text/speech datasets: collection, simulation, statistical modeling, and efficient processing pipelines (Python, R)- Human-grounded LLM evaluation: linguistics + psycholinguistics → benchmarks, rubrics, targeted test suites; first-author EMNLP publication- Data-centric iteration at scale: guideline design, annotation QA, inter-annotator agreement, and metric systems that reflect user-facing quality- Deep expertise in human language processing mechanisms and predictive processing- Proven ability to initiate and lead multiple projects (solo + cross-functional) in parallel- Clear communicator who thrives in collaborative, fast-moving environments[Core skills]Dataset curation • data processing pipelines • LLM evaluation • embedding & probing analyses • project design • project management • statistical modeling • stakeholder communication[Core tools]Python • R • SQL • Colab • speech-to-text APIs • PCIbex • Java • reproducible workflowsI’m excited by work where linguistic rigor meets real-world impact, building language systems that are not only high-performing, but also reliable, interpretable, and aligned with how people actually communicate.

Experience

Language Engineer
• Build scalable, high-quality language datasets and evaluation frameworks that support large language model (LLM) improvement. • Own end-to-end data evaluation and annotation workflows—from problem definition and dataset/evaluation design to execution, quality monitoring, and continuous improvement. • Lead cross-functional initiatives across stakeholders, translating data curation goals into clear workflow design, rubrics, metrics, and deliverables.

Primary Researcher
• Evaluated state-of-the-art large language models' performance on semantic role processing using methods that draw insights from human language processing research. • Analyzed sentences using language models: extracting word embeddings, probing and obtaining classification accuracies, analyzing attention weights. • Simulated context-driven next-word prediction in adults and children • Developed speech data processing pipelines with Python, R, and speech-to-text APIs. • Published in top-tier SSCI journals and presented at 18 international conferences and workshops. • Conducted psycholinguistic experiments on predictive language processing involving speech and EEG data. • Recruited participants in-person and on online crowdsourcing platforms. • Carried out statistical analyses using Python and R. • Led workshops on computational and experimental methods. • Led a research outreach project in partnership with a language museum in Washington DC. • Led multiple team projects and organized weekly group meetings. • Received merit-based grants and awards based on original research proposals, exceeding $60,000.

Instructor / Teaching Assistant
Maryland, United States
• Designed and taught an undergraduate course titled "Prediction in Language Processing." • TAed for 8 linguistics courses and gave lectures on research methods and data analyses • Mentored undergraduate students enrolled in a language science research program

Research Internship Organizer / Instructor
• Co-designed and taught a summer research internship program for Oxford undergraduate students from various academic backgrounds (Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Language Studies). • Led hands-on tutorials on speech data collection using PCIbex and Java, statistical analyses using R, and speech processing pipelines using Google Colab. • Advised on multiple collaborative research projects.

Research Assistant
• Collected and analyzed EEG data. • Presented at international conferences. • Wrote sections of original research articles and grant proposals. • Organized lab meetings and trained new lab members on experimental methods and equipment use as the lab manager in the SNU Brain and Humanities Lab.
