Seattle · speech & audio ML

LUCAS
CHO

Hi, I'm Lucas. I'm interested in speech recognition — meeting transcription, auto-captioning and lyric transcription from video, and the code-switching speech people actually use. I'm also a hip-hop artist under TH Cho (“TH” is my Korean name, Taehwan), and I try to blend the two — building ASR pipelines for music. Today I'm working on ASR and speaker ID for AI smart glasses at Gobi, while finishing my MS in AI at Northeastern.

Open to speech & audio ML roles

Lucas Cho — UW Class of 2025

Seattle · Korean hip-hop & pop

TH
CHO

Hi, I'm TH Cho — TH is my Korean name, Taehwan. I make Korean hip-hop and pop in the lane of Don Toliver, Yeat, Choi Seong, C Jamm, and Yang Hong Won, and I love mixing and mastering as much as writing. I lead MAVERICK, a Seattle Korean rap crew that started as roommates making music for fun. My debut album POP OUT! is out now.
