Who I am
I’m a developer, designer, and startup enthusiast from Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷. I currently reside in Boston Massachusetts 🇺🇸; proud to be a Northeastern University student (Go huskies!). I grew up in Shanghai, China 🇨🇳 and I was instantly inspired by the startup scene which inspired me to start a few startups since I was 13. I also take awesome photos 📸 with my best friend, Canon R5. Now I spend a lot of my time working hard to create industry-leading digital products while mentoring and coaching startups in the education sector.
What I am doing now
I’m developing the next standard for both UI and UX called the Flex Design System. In addition, I am currently also involved with other projects including Kepler, the world's first component based website design tool for the Wordpress ecosystem.
Who I work with
With my background in design, development, and management, I run Revox, a global product agency based in Boston, Sri Lanka, and Seoul as one of the managing directors. With this team, we have worked on hundreds of digital products, including Pages, which set the global standard for frontend design framework for the Angular ecosystem.
The tools I use
I use pretty much almost any technology or tool I can get my hands on at any moment, but the tools I use most are: Angular, Figma, Nodejs, Mongodb, Typescript, Illustrator, Redis, React, Google Cloud, Firebase, NextJs, After Effects, Premier, Wordpress, Fusion 360, and many more like it...
