What I do

I currently work as a product leader in a tech company in Amsterdam. But I didn’t start my professional career in this industry from the beginning. Since 2007, when I got my first job as an S/W engineer at Samsung Mobile HQ in S.Korea, I changed role, industry, and even the country every 2-3 years. “That looks fun!” was the biggest motive for the changes in the past and I still believe in that.

My trajectory might not look like a good/inspiring career path, but I’ve achieved a couple of life goals — things in the bucket list — throughout the journey : ‘writing/publishing a book(whatever the topic is)’ and ‘living and working abroad’, which I am proud of. Another life goal in the top of the bucket list is ‘experience working in an international organization(like the organizations under United Nations)’. I am not sure whether this goal is an achievable one or not given my age, ability and career at the moment, but this is still one of my ‘dream’ which explains a bit more about me.

I would like to use this page to list a number of things I’ve done and achieved since the graduation from the university. I would not only describe the outputs from the professional work but would also highlight some personal projects as well. For more ‘professional’ CV, please take a look into my LinkedIn profile.
