An environment that encourages new ideas and is not tied to any one piece of technology. I would love to work with talented colleagues who I can learn from and share skills. An energetic pace with ambitious goals but still doesn't take itself too seriously.

@cswkim
Creative technologist and engineer with a career spent in digital agencies, start-ups and big tech.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I have 15+ years of experience, primarily in the web development space. My career spans a variety of different environments, starting with front-end web development at a number of top digital agencies in NYC. In the middle of my career I decided to work for the client at Warby Parker during their rise from mid-size start-up to a multi-billion dollar company. Eventually I branched out into more of a creative technologist role keeping up to date with most modern technologies. During this span I've built a mobile app that utilizes computer vision, an AI Art-focused news site as well as an NFT project where I was responsible for all development.
I bring vast experience with most modern web technologies, but more importantly I am a generalist who can adapt to any stack very quickly.
