Used multiple tools for monitoring and established CI/CD process for multiple projects, and shared my experiences as a case study on multiple events hosted by Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or local community.Backend: 8+ years of professional experience with Ruby as well as a bit of production experience with Elixir, including building from scratch, creating distributed system with specialized workloads (such as media processing pipeline), to refactoring major business logics.Collaboration: Work experience with globally distributed internal team as well as external partner corporations, in English and Korean. Led product engineering team, shaped product roadmap, and managed frontend and backend team leads. Team: Wears multiple hats(Backend, DevOps, Product, CTO) depending on the organization needs.
