Backend-first engineer interested in dependable systems, developer tooling, and open-source contributions that solve real problems.
I care about maintainable APIs, reliable delivery, and workflows that make developers more productive.
- Based in Seoul, KR
- Focused on backend engineering, developer experience, and open-source contribution
- Comfortable shipping across the stack when needed, but my core focus is backend
Backend & infrastructure
Hands-on frontend experience
TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS — useful for shipping product work, but not my main positioning.
