About Me

With extensive experience in Korea, America, Canada, and the Philippines, I bring a global perspective and a proven ability to bridge cultural gaps in collaborative environments.

From 2020 to 2025, I led a global code mentoring community, conducting webinars and mentoring sessions with over 1,000 members. In this role, I acted as a bridge, helping IT learners positively connect and share their experiences.

Currently, as a Solution Architect at Agora, I design architectures and run PoCs for clients in the APAC region, leveraging Agora’s SDK/API for real-time audio and video, live streaming, signaling, and AI agent integration, providing solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
