Summary
Junyoung Lim is a Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience, currently building creator-discovery recommender systems for YouTube Shorts at Google in Mountain View. A Cornell-trained computer scientist with a math minor and early leadership teaching ML to hundreds of students, he blends production ML (TensorFlow Lite, on-device) with backend and systems experience from multiple internships across Google, AWS, Workday, and Amazon. He has moved from research-adjacent roles into shipping large-scale recommendation features, demonstrating strength in both model engineering and deployment for resource-constrained environments. Notably, he has taught and organized high-impact student courses and workshops at Cornell, reflecting a rare mix of production engineering chops and pedagogical skill.
