Product Manager intern · Available Dec 2026 / Jan 2027 – Aug 2027 · J-1
Yeonggyu Lee: I find out what people actually need, then build for it.
I started in HR because I cared about what helps people grow at work. At KMAC in 2025, I ran on-site operations for a public-sector client's year-long training program and designed a needs survey that reshaped one of its courses. Now, in Irvine, I'm PM of a four-person team building an AI tutor for our university. We interviewed six professors, learned the real problem was different from what we assumed, and rebuilt the product around it. Sociology & Psychology at Kookmin University, graduating Aug 2027.
Selected work
LearningMate (working name)
PM · 4-person team · Sep 2026 – present
An AI tutor inside our university's learning platform. Six professor interviews showed the pain wasn't making lecture materials. It was not knowing what students understood before the midterm, and grading. So we put quizzes and a mistake notebook inside the lecture materials. I owned the student Q&A flow and tested it with realistic course questions. In development, no real class users yet.

Business Assistant · KMAC · Mar–Dec 2025
A public-sector client's 2025 training program: 9 courses, 1,765 enrollments including repeats, 4.78 out of 5 overall satisfaction (team result). I ran on-site operations for every course. I also turned a two-line client request into a needs survey that reshaped a leadership course, and rebuilt the annual report around what the client needed to see.

Sociology course paper · 2024
I designed the study, collected the responses, and ran a regression analysis on how perceived risk of online crime relates to protecting personal data. People who saw more risk protected their data more, and the link was weaker among people who trust online information more. Limits: a small, non-random sample, mostly university students. It shows a pattern, not a cause.
