Profile
I recently finished the Fab Academy in Amsterdam, and now I'm looking for a new opportunity.
I've been working for several years as a web developer at a few different companies. I've gotten the chance to work on some interesting projects, including a Japanese B2B social media app, Western Australian online store and a Korean and Japanese business analytics tool. I'm good with Ruby on Rails and Vue.js, including both frontend and backend work -- Ruby, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, SQL, background jobs and third-party APIs.

Personal projects
Smart miniature house 
See project
-
The smart miniature house was a personal final project for the Fab Academy. I built it from scratch, from designing the house to making PCBs to assembling them. The Node-RED server and the MQTT broker run on a Raspberry Pi, and there are 3 more PCBs with microcontrollers that communicate with the Raspberry Pi through MQTT protocol.
MBTI app
-
I made an informational MBTI app while learning how to use Flutter for making mobile apps. It displays information about the different personality types, and includes information about celebrities and compatibility rates between different types. The app ended up with a very clean design, has about 20,000 downloads and was once ranked in the Top 30 in the Korean iOS App Store.
