I'm a junior developer who majored in web programming at Korea Digital Media High School. I’m now pursuing my ongoing interests in development projects along with my studies in Statistics at the University of Seoul.
I have been dedicated to economics and finance as well, as I get to read books and articles regarding these topics and discuss them with colleagues. Lately I've been interested in investment and asset management. Sharing my perspective on those fields with others has let me effectively deepen my thinking.
I frequently utilize Next.js and React Native. My first encounter with web development was in high school, where I learned React through specialized coursework and acquired skills in Next.js and React Native as well. Beyond just frontend fields, I'm pursuing my passion for development and IT as a whole, including backend frameworks like Nest.js and Spring Boot.
Since high school, I've worked on multiple projects and built up my collaboration skills. I've handled not just development but also planning, design, and other aspects of building products, which has provided a more mature perspective when looking at a product as a whole.
When it comes to fields of design, I'm especially interested in UI/UX design with Figma. As I believe that developers should be able to understand and execute their own design for good UX, I've been learning Figma myself since high school, and I’m continuing to expand my viewpoint by taking web design courses in university. One of my significant experiences here was making a book using Figma back in high school. (Learn more)
Right now, majoring in Statistics, I'm studying it while constantly wondering how my development work could evolve when combined with it. Building new products based on what I learn is what drives me.
