I'm a Senior Front End Engineer with a focus on UI/UX.
I'm a tech enthusiast and a creative problem solver with a love for frontend development! I specialize in accessibility, design systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. From creating sleek web apps to making data flow seamlessly between systems, I'm all about bringing innovative ideas to life.
Designer to Engineer
I often get asked why I shifted from graphic design to software engineering. The short answer: I was asked if I could code a website, I said, "no, but I'm about to learn". Creative freedom was a driving force for me. If I can think it, I can make it.
Bachelors of Mathematics
2017I finished college with a Bachelor's in Mathematics faster than expected. Before college, all I cared about was art and design. But one great teacher changed my mind by saying creation is an art, no matter if it's a painting or a math problem. That idea stuck with me, and studying math just made me even more curious and eager to learn.
Pre-Bootcamp Era: Freelance Graphic Designer
2018After hitting roadblocks in the job market, I started freelancing in graphic design, where I sharpened my artistic abilities and developed my own style. During this period, I also dabbled in UX and found the research process particularly engaging. It was through freelancing that I was first asked if I could code a website, and that's when everything clicked into place for me.
The Turning Point: Full-Stack Bootcamp
2019While studying Korean, curiosity led me to search for coding bootcamps in South Korea, and to my surprise, I found one. I dove in and quickly realized that coding was not just another skill—it was a passion. It made me happy, and I could easily see myself learning and experimenting with code for a lifetime.
The Discovery of Passion: Front-End Development
2020I initially trained as a full-stack developer, but it wasn't long before I became the go-to person for front-end styling challenges. Recognizing my knack for it, I made a swift transition to focus on front-end development, and it's been my area of expertise ever since—no looking back!
