I've engaged with software development, system architect, project manager, technical consultant, and information security advisor over 21 years. I contributed the successes of the companies that I have worked for in numbers and technology. I have experienced requirement development, system design, test development, testing the system, technical consulting, information security audit. Now I'm doing IT security consulting and audit especially for payment business for example, training IT security standards to the customer, guiding how to implement, consulting how to solve problems, auditing the security of system against compliance requirements, and doing a risk assessment on IT system. In these days, the advancement of IT is too far to take and this impacts IT security. The better convenient functions it has, the more vulnerability it comes to have. Also the business environment through IT is getting more complicated, and this means IT security personnel have to consider wider than IT itself. The last but worst is hackers are getting stronger and smarter so it isn’t unusual watch a news of data breach and system attack. I am good at these features in technology and compliance. I have provided consulting and auditing of IT security for many customers in Korea and Asia-Pacific. I understand the business environment and customer requests in these regions and can provide an just-fit consultancy in time and expense.

Project ManagerLg Cns Co., Ltd. Jan 2009 - Feb 2013Jung-Gu, Seoul, KoreaWith the work experience and background knowledge, I managed projects for AFC in Korea and New Zealand. Projects for main cities in Korea including Seoul were based on the local scheme T-money. The projects included implementation and maintenance of the reader, back-end and developing an interface with other entities.New Zealand’s project was to install T-money system on Wellington buses as a partner of Snapper. We utilized T-money’s card structure and scheme, and installed the contactless readers on all of Wellington’s buses, taxis, ferries and retail shops. Also the data collection, clearing and settlement were implemented based on the assets that we had. A few years later, Snapper requested to implement NITIS card specifications in the existing reader. The version 0.9 of NITIS was implemented for card data reading, parsing and transaction generation. The software upgrade was deployed in Wellington as well as in Auckland’s Transport AFC system. I also participated in the development of proposals and system design for other AFC projects in Bogota Colombia, Toronto Canada, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, etc.Snapper (an e-Ticketing system operation in Wellington) was requested by NZTA to implement the NITIS card specification in their contactless card readers to enable HOP cardholders to use the Snapper readers. Snapper’s system was implemented by LG CNS therefore Snapper requested LG CNS to manage the project. The team analysed the NITIS specifications in detail and discussed how to implement the existing reader. There were also several EODs defined by NITIS and these were quite different from those which were used in the Snapper system. We designed the firmware and data file to accommodate NITIS spec. In addition, a plan was developed to validate the implementation. This project was executed in 3 phases and was successfully deployed. -
Development Team LeadLg Cns Co., Ltd. Nov 2004 - Dec 2009Jung-Gu, Seoul, KoreaI was extensively involved in the implementation of Wellington e-Ticketing system as a technical leader. The activities under my responsibility were the design of the system architecture, data flow, communication protocol, code review and testing. Most of the activities in the project involved the introduction of Smart Cards in Seoul’s transit system, GPS positioning and testing. The project was executed in three phases and completed successfully.My responsibility during this time was the installation of contactless readers in public transport such as buses, taxis, subway gates, card value rechargers and ticket investigators. I designed the firmware and application software of the readers in modular basis thus reusing the common functional modules and enhancing the maintenance performance. At first, the system was implemented in Seoul only, but as the business expanded, over 15 cities in Korea adopted the same system for their e-Ticketing solution. -
