About Me
Global outlook, Seoul focus
01 · Who I am
I'm a full-stack engineer and team lead with 7+ years of global experience across React, Next.js, and NestJS platforms. I stay 70% hands-on, guide small squads, and keep architecture, DX, and UI quality balanced.
02 · Why Korea
Korea's pace, craftsmanship, and product ambition match how I like to build. I admire teams such as Naver Z, Toss, Sendbird, Coupang, and Moloco for shipping global features with precision.
한국 기술 문화의 속도와 완성도에 매료되어 한국에서 경력을 이어가고 싶습니다.
03 · Recruiter priorities
- •Reliability: I handle releases end-to-end, document decisions, and support QA until launch.
- •Fast learning: I ramp on new stacks quickly and share playbooks so teams move together.
- •Collaboration: Product, design, and platform partners trust me to translate vision into scalable delivery.

Why Korea
Where I want to build next
한국에서 글로벌 제품을 만드는 데 기여하고 싶습니다.
01. High-velocity squads
I want to work in Seoul to join product-driven teams that iterate weekly, not quarterly.
02. Design × engineering craft
I'm passionate about Korea's design quality, speed of iteration, and storytelling-level UX.
03. Global reach from Seoul
I want to contribute to global products that are designed, localized, and scaled from Korea.
Korea's blend of design, engineering precision, and rapid iteration aligns perfectly with how I like to build.
I'm intentional about learning the language, partnering closely with design and product, and understanding how Korean users evaluate trust, craft, and performance on mobile. That mindset helps me stay aligned with both Korean startup recruiters and global stakeholders.
한국에서 장기적으로 성장하며 기여하고 싶습니다.
