Profile

VP system engineer who has built three LED volumes (Kantana, Daejeon Cube, Sejong) and run Netflix and Amazon productions on them, including the HDR pipeline that let Hellbound 2 sign off color on set. Debugs the whole chain alone, from media server and tracking to sync and color, and writes the tools the stage is missing (UE5 C++ plugin, Blender add-on). Four years in Korea; now at NYU Tisch for an MPS in Virtual Production.

Experience

1. VP System Engineer · Daejeon Cube Studio (KOCCA), via XON Studio

   2025.08 — 2026.07 · Daejeon, Korea

   Government-funded stage; XON Studio held the operating contract and placed me on site full time

   • Joined the build of the largest LED studio in Korea (23K wide, 8 m tall): redesigned network routing, authored custom EDIDs and recalibrated OptiTrack and EzTrack tracking.
   • Brought up the first SMPTE-timecode Pixera system on a 100G backbone in Korea and kept it stable in production.
   • Operated and maintained the stage across four productions with an Alexa 35 and Signature Prime package.

2. VP Technician · XON Studio

   2025.08 — 2026.07 · Seoul, Korea

   Same period as the Cube Studio placement above; XON projects outside that contract

   • Agent Kim Reactivated (SBS drama, webtoon adaptation): ran the driving-scene shoots on the LED stage. The action-heavy scenes needed plates the standard setup could not capture, so I designed a new capture rig for plate acquisition and shot the sequences with it.
   • Sejong University AI Media Lab: built the first VP stage at a Korean university by re-deploying the equipment from XON’s own stage. Owned the Disguise setup and stabilization and the stage system as a whole.

3. VP Technician · Dexter Studios (D1 Studio)

   2022.05 — 2025.07 · Seoul, Korea

   • Hellbound 2 (Netflix): built the HDR color pipeline (P3-PQ, Rec.2020) with Calman captures and 3D LUT Creator LUTs on Brompton Tessera, matching Alexa Mini LF and Alexa 35 so HDR sign-off moved from post to the stage.
   • Butterfly (Prime Video): driving-plate supervisor for four vehicles. Pre-validated angles and reflections in UE5 techviz and ran a three-camera Disguise MR Set, delivering 70+ shots in one day without reshoots.
   • Kantana Studio (Thailand): designed and installed the LED system, integrated Disguise, Brompton and stYpe tracking with Genlock/LTC sync, trained a local crew of about 30 over two weeks and led the launch demo shoot.

4. Camera Assistant · Freelance

   2020 — 2022 · Seoul, Korea

   • Third AC on drama, commercial and music video sets: rigging, lens and media support, continuity, and on-set troubleshooting under tight schedules.
