3SECONDZ Inc.
Co-founder, Director, Pilot Division Lead

3SECONDZ Inc., a tech-startup established in 2016, aims to extract intelligence from driving data. They commercialized the world's first AI-based motorsports coach. Starting with the self-developed driving data logger device "XYRO", they completed a total solution covering data collection, analysis, management and utilization. They are seeking ways to enter the ADAS, autonomous driving, connected car and mobility markets with their own driving-data ecosystem.

As the lead of Pilot division, I'm in charge of government-funded projects and prior research for future growth carried out by 3SECONDZ R&D Center.
