What I'm looking for
I build mobile apps that real people use, and I’m currently the sole frontend engineer on a React Native taxi app with 60,000+ downloads across iOS and Android for international users in Korea. I own the complete mobile UI layer—component architecture, navigation, API integration, and the App Store release pipeline—while continuously improving features and UX. To stay fast and high-quality, I integrate Claude and GitHub Copilot into my daily workflow as coding agents I review and control.
Over the past years, I grew from frontend engineer into engineering team lead, bringing a dual perspective to both craft and execution. I coordinated delivery through sprint planning and cross-functional alignment, led code reviews, mentored junior frontend developers, and practiced pair programming using VS Code Live Share. I also drove frontend performance improvements and cross-platform consistency across web and mobile products.
Before that, I worked as a Software Systems Engineer deploying enterprise logistics software with onsite technical deployments across Europe, the US, Brazil, and South Korea, and as a Web Developer building internal applications with PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL. I’m comfortable partnering across cultures, time zones, and disciplines—and I’m excited to continue building performant frontend systems while strengthening team processes and delivery.
