IT Planner Who Defines Problems with Data and Builds the Solution
Growing through diverse experiences to adapt to the pace and changes of an ever-evolving world.
About
From startup IR pitching to hackathons — 11 awards and 15 services planned, built, and shipped. Working toward becoming a planner who leads every step from idea to real users.
I define problems with data, design screens in Figma, and build frontends with React, TypeScript, and Next.js. Currently at SSAFY 15th cohort (Non-CS Java track) to fill gaps in exception handling, QA, and database design.
My goal: a PM who simultaneously ships products people actually use, makes decisions backed by data, and builds teams that grow together.
