CV

Hongbee Park

A product manager with 9 years of experience specializing in go-to-market strategy, AI researcher, and builder of human-centered technology based in Boston.

I believe technology should serve people not just through features, but by enriching lives through meaningful connections between humans and tech. My work across commerce, fintech, and government has shaped this mission—teaching me that sustainable, ethical, and insight-driven products can create lasting impact.

Now at Scale AI, I focus on AI product growth and research, while studying AI-HCI at Harvard, and exploring AI-human collaboration as an Anthropic ambassador.

Scale AI

Gen AI Product Growth

2025

At Scale AI, I specialize in human-in-the-loop evaluation for generative AI models like GPT, Gemini, and Grok. I investigate how each model interprets prompts and iteratively refines its chain-of-thought reasoning. By intentionally testing edge cases and failure modes, I shape model behavior and inform improvements across product iterations.

This role has deepened my backend understanding of how large language models operate and positioned me at the intersection of product growth, research, and AI alignment.

Government of Democratic of Korea

Product Leader

As a technical advisor to the President, I digitized legacy government services, building national-scale products used by over 40 million citizens. I designed Korea's first blockchain-certified document service, cutting issuance time from 30 days to 10 seconds, and restructured the national tax notification process—reducing late payments and generating $4.5M/month in new revenue via a frictionless UX.

These experiences taught me how to build responsible tech at scale, and how to navigate policy, bureaucracy, and public trust with clarity and precision.
