Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Albert Heekwan Kim earned his B.S. at The Ohio State University and his M.Sc. at Northwestern in Computer Engineering.

Since 1993, Albert has specialized in designing complex software architecture for platforms ranging from legacy mainframe such as S/360 to down to the hardware core like FPGA for more than 16 years. His current venture, Zenitum, focuses on computer vision tracking technology for Mobile Augmented Reality.

Zenitum is headquartered in Seoul, Korea and soon to be in Sunnyvale, CA is providing vision based mobile AR SDK for iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian.

The ultimate goal for his venture is to merge the augmented world on top of the physical & real world. Zenitum's internal research project called "Nabokov" is to solve the computer vision based finer detail tracking problems for the "whole world augmentation."

Albert currently running two computer vision related companies
- Zenitum, Inc. (http://www.zenitum.com)
- Voxelogram, Inc. (http://www.voxelogram.com) 

Out of work, Albert is an avid student of "neo-Confucianism" largely based on "Zhu Xi," an influential Song Dynasty Confucian scholar. He enjoys reading replicas of 18th century publication on Confucianism them blog (http://learningculture.textcube.com/) about it.
