Kylie Chang was one of our founding software engineering interns, joining Daewoong Academy during the summer of her senior year in high school. Since Day 1, Kylie has been an integral part of our team, taking on various roles. She developed frontend features for different academic subjects, created the initial algorithm for test analytics reports, and designed the UI/UX wireframes for the first version of Daewoong Academy. Now an upcoming sophomore at UPENN's Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology, Kylie remains actively involved in the tech community at UPENN. She participates in computer science clubs like Penn Labs, conducts undergraduate research with the Turner Group in IoT for Precision Agriculture, and has won awards in college startup competitions. Kylie embodies Daewoong Academy's core mission and principles, and we are deeply grateful for her contributions since the beginning.

Saim Ahmad has been mentored by the President of Daewoong Academy, Peter Lee, since his junior year of high school. Under Peter's guidance, Saim has contributed significantly to projects like Daewoong Academy. Saim graduated from Beckman High School in Irvine, CA, where he first became Peter's student and participated in his full-stack engineering program in web app development. Since then, Saim has made remarkable contributions, including developing the scalable test-taking feature that allows Daewoong Academy to digitize any type of exam, complete with tools such as annotation, vocabulary lookup, calculators, and more. Saim completed his undergraduate degree in computer science at UCLA and is now pursuing his master's in computer science at UCLA as well. He interned as a software engineer at Yahoo in the summer of 2023 and is currently interning at Amazon as a software engineering intern in the summer of 2024.

Hanul, Head of Student Teams at Daewoong Academy, has been a driving force behind the organization's success since his sophomore year of high school. As one of the first student interns, Hanul worked closely with Peter, the president of the non-profit, to lay the groundwork for the app's front and back end development. Through his years of collaboration with Peter, Hanul became well-versed in coding and software engineering skills, mastering frontend technologies such as Next.js, React.js, and Tailwind.css. He also gained expertise in designing scalable systems and implementing APIs using Node.js and AWS services. Demonstrating remarkable innovation, Hanul became the first high school student to conceptualize and develop the Vocab Set feature. Drawing from his own experience taking the digital SAT, he identified a need for a tool to help students navigate the reading section's vocabulary. Hanul's Vocab Set feature allows users to highlight unfamiliar words during the test, save them, and access their definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and usage in sentences. He even created a Quizlet-like feature that enables users to test their knowledge of selected words in their custom vocab sets. Hanul's feature surpassed the scope of existing digital SAT platforms, including the one provided by the College Board, showcasing his commitment to helping students better prepare for the exam. As Daewoong Academy's first cohort of 50 students came on board, Hanul stepped up as a technical leader. He provided guidance and support to all 50 students across 8 different teams, assisting with any technical questions or concepts each student needed help with. Hanul's leadership and expertise have been instrumental in fostering a collaborative and innovative environment within the organization.

Lillian, an incoming UCLA freshman who has been working with Daewoong Academy since her senior year of high school, is revolutionizing AP exam preparation through her groundbreaking work on an AI-powered real-time grading system for free response questions (FRQs). Her involvement with Daewoong Academy began in 12th grade and has continued as she prepares for her college journey. Leveraging OpenAI's advanced language models and Langchain's framework, Lillian's innovative system provides instantaneous, detailed feedback on student responses, utilizing predefined rubrics for consistent scoring. The AI analyzes each answer component, offering clear explanations for point deductions and adapting its accuracy over time. This state-of-the-art approach not only enhances Daewoong Academy's current offerings but also paves the way for comprehensive, personalized practice tests across multiple subjects. Lillian's work exemplifies the intersection of cutting-edge technology and community service, significantly reducing grading time while providing students with unprecedented insights into their academic progress. As she continues to develop the system, Lillian aims to incorporate natural language processing for nuanced understanding, machine learning for performance prediction, and collaborative features for peer and teacher involvement. Through her dedication and technical prowess, developed over her time at Daewoong Academy, Lillian is not just contributing to the academy's mission—she's actively shaping the future of educational assessment and personalized learning in the digital age.

Sophie, a rising high school senior, is determined to major in Computer Science and pursue a career in software engineering. She led a team of eight students in creating concept pages, practice problems, and Digital SAT test questions for Advanced Math and Geometry/Trigonometry using Generative AI. Currently, Sophie is focused on the software engineering track at Daewoong Academy internship, where she's working on a full-stack project using React.js, Next.js, and Node.js. She is developing APIs to manage Contact Us inquiries and interest forms, and is building an internal tool that provides admin users with a refined interface to sort and view these requests by day, week, month, and year.

Rashi, who co-led a team of eight students with Sophie, played a crucial role in creating concept pages, practice problems, and Digital SAT test questions for Advanced Math and Geometry/Trigonometry using Generative AI. In addition to her leadership role, Rashi is actively contributing to Daewoong Academy's social media and marketing efforts. She is utilizing TikTok to develop creative strategies that effectively spread Daewoong Academy's mission through these social media platforms.
