About

I'm a software engineer and blockchain researcher passionate about building systems that improve transparency and trust.

Who I Am

My work combines distributed systems, cryptography, Bitcoin infrastructure, and backend engineering. Professionally, I build enterprise-scale software at Boeing Korea. Outside work, I conduct blockchain research, contribute to open-source projects, organize Bitcoin meetups, and explore new ideas in financial infrastructure.

My long-term mission is to make cryptographic verification practical for everyday users rather than only security experts.
