Hi there,
I’m Siu!

I’m learning, building, and getting curious about all sorts of things.

Interested in what I do? Feel free to get in touch!

THINGS I CARE ABOUT

Field Notes.

01

SMALL THINGS & EXPERIMENTS

Side Quests.

02

Things that started with “I wonder if…” Small projects, plenty to learn.

ML · Veterinary Medicine

iConnectome

Investigating data leakage and inflated performance in existing CCDS models.

Behind the build

Jan 2026 – present

I help improve an ML platform that uses blood biomarkers to support the diagnosis of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS).

  • Analyze blood biomarker data and apply machine learning
  • Develop models with clinical data characteristics and diagnostic support workflows in mind
  • Reproduce and extend prior research
Android · Jetpack Compose

NyamCoach

A meal-planning app I worked on as an Android developer, building screens and interactions.

Behind the build

May – Jul 2025 | Android Developer

Worked on the Android development team for a meal-planning platform.

  • Jetpack Compose · Kotlin
  • Implemented key screens and user interactions
  • Collaborated on mobile app development
Computer Vision · SAM

Colon Length Calculator

Can we automatically measure the length of a curved colon from an image?

Behind the build

GitHub ↗

A computer vision tool for more consistent measurement of curved colon length from images.

  • Built with the Segment Anything Model
  • Segment curved structures and calculate their length
  • Automate repetitive manual measurements
Small Tool

ELISA Searcher

A little tool to automate lab searches and spend less time finding and comparing ELISA kits.

Behind the build

A small research tool that reduces the work of finding and comparing ELISA kits.

THINGS I’M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND

Research Notes.

03

I care about understanding why something works—and checking whether it really does.

01

VISION AI / CLINICAL REPRESENTATION

Canine Seizure Detection

  • First-author manuscript in preparation
  • VLM-based clinical representation
  • ROC-AUC 0.865
Research notes

First Author · Manuscript in preparation

Seizure detection research using 350 clinical videos from 42 dogs and VLM-based clinical features. Evaluation covers model performance, data bias, baselines, and practical clinical use cases.

VETERINARY WORKFLOW / HUMAN FACTORS

Digitalization of Veterinary Inpatient Management

  • First author
  • 2026 KSVC Autumn Conference
  • 5 hospitals · 118 respondents
Research & poster

First Author · 2026 KSVC Autumn Conference / 16th Yeongnam Veterinary Conference

Surveyed veterinarians and technicians at five referral hospitals using the same inpatient system to assess suitability for digitization, changes in efficiency, and usability issues.

  • 118 respondents: 67 veterinarians and 51 technicians
  • Treatment orders, completion tracking, and daily observation records were rated well suited to digitization
  • Key limitations included handoffs, patient prioritization, rigid input fields, and system stability

03

MODEL VALIDATION / CLINICAL ML

CCDS / iConnectome

  • Model validation
  • Leakage analysis
  • Age deconfounding

Examining data leakage, inflated performance, and the effects of age in existing CCDS models.

ongoing
One more note: speech-based Alzheimer’s disease research

Age obscures acoustic signal in Alzheimer's disease speech classification

Siu Beom & Sun-shin Yi · Konkuk University

Research on how age as a confounding variable affects speech-based Alzheimer’s disease classification. Submission to npj Digital Medicine is planned.

THE PERSON HOLDING THE PEN

A note about me.

Portrait of Siu Beom
Siu Beom

I study veterinary medicine, but I somehow keep ending up writing code.

I like problems that sit between fields — where medicine, AI, software, and people meet.

I spent six years at Brent International School Manila, so I’m comfortable working in both Korean and English.

Outside of work, I’m usually building something unnecessary but interesting.

Got something fun in mind? ↗
