Hi, I am Hojun, also known as Holden.

I study how advanced software and AI systems are built, deployed, and governed in the real world.

I am a Master of Information Systems Management student at Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on the intersection of AI, systems design, and institutional decision-making.

About

I am a Master of Information Systems Management student at Carnegie Mellon University. I care deeply about how AI systems are deployed in practice, how organizations make decisions around technology, and what responsible governance looks like.

I chose CMU MISM because it sits at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and public-minded design. I want to work on problems where technical details, human behavior, and institutional choices all matter.

Experience

  • Deloitte · IT Specialist Consultant (2023–2025)
    Worked on enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, SQL, Linux) supporting business operations and large-scale clients.
  • Taycor Financial · Software Engineer Intern (2022)
    Built internal automation tools and backend services using Python and Azure.

Projects

  • ToneUp · Flagship Project
    ToneUp is a GenAI-powered Chrome extension designed to improve the quality of online discussions by classifying, restructuring, and filtering harmful comments. The project was originally supported by the U.S. State Department’s TechCamp Korea program and is currently being refined for broader release.

  • More coming soon
    I am exploring small tools and frameworks related to:
    • Evaluating deployed AI systems in practical settings
    • Understanding failure modes of agentic behaviors
    • Bridging engineering workflows with policy and operations teams
    • Lightweight utilities that enhance deep work and signal extraction
    These projects will be added soon as they mature.
