Summary

I work on the GPU layer underneath Kubernetes AI workloads. GPUs are the scarcest resource in a cluster and the hardest to divide well, so the work runs across three connected problems: sharing one device between workloads, scheduling those workloads onto hardware that suits them, and making GPU behavior visible once they are running.

I'm at the Cloud Native x AI Laboratory in Seoul, building the ML platform and researching how GPUs are shared and scheduled across heterogeneous hardware, and how their usage is monitored and profiled per workload.

Kubernetes since 2024, AI infrastructure since 2025. Before Seoul I was a system engineer in Hanoi, deploying OpenShift clusters for banking environments and designing VMware virtualization architectures with customers. Earlier, as a student researcher, I worked on SDN, network devices, and OpenStack.
