AI Conversation Tutor
Worked on an AI-powered Korean language-learning platform built around conversational practice. I engineered backend infrastructure and application logic with Python and FastAPI, integrated real-time data and database services, and helped build the systems behind the learning experience.

lately
A little window into what I've been making, learning, and thinking about.
never expected that trying to build my own rag project would be so addicting. almost done with the backend, gotta build some electron frontend too!
looking for internships, applying for internships, neetcode, leetcode, personal projects, networking, meetups, 3rd year of uni coming up... time sure flies when busy
03 — About
I'm interested in understanding how things work — and then figuring out how to build them myself.
My path into software wasn't exactly straightforward. I started out in English Studies, but I kept gravitating toward technology, design, and building things on my own. Eventually, I taught myself enough to land my first job in software, working on an AI-powered language-learning product.
That experience changed the direction I wanted to take. Working on a real product made me want to understand more than just the parts I could build myself — I wanted to understand the systems underneath them. So I went back to university and started studying Computer Science & Engineering at Sogang University.
Since then, I've continued building across different areas of software: backend systems, AI and machine learning, computer vision, mobile development, accessibility, and creative coding. A lot of my projects start with something I don't know how to do yet, and figuring it out is part of what I enjoy.
I'm now looking for a software engineering internship where I can bring that same persistence and curiosity to a real team — contributing wherever I can, learning quickly, and taking on problems that are a little beyond what I already know.

Have something interesting in mind?
I'm always interested in meeting people who are building things, solving interesting problems, or looking for someone curious enough to figure things out.
