Hi there! 🙌

I’m Jong Inn Park (박종인), known as Jong. As a Full-Stack Web Developer in TNTLAB (Psychology Department, University of Minnesota) led by Prof. Richard Landers, I build a AI coaching application and integrate Large Language Model (LLM) workflows.

Previously, I was a Research Engineer in the Minnesota NLP Lab under Prof. Dongyeop Kang, researching multi-agent application and LLMs cognitive evaluation. I earned my M.S. in Data Science from the University of Minnesota in June 2024. During my study, I interned at Piper Sandler, prototyping a Streamlit app for topic models and sentiment analysis of earnings call transcripts. Earlier, I spent three and a half years at Samsung Card as a Data Analyst, developing NLP-driven call-quality assurance systems.
