Senior Backend Engineer, 8+ years, based in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷
I build the calculation and decision layers of aviation and logistics systems, where a wrong number keeps an aircraft on the ground. Java and Spring Boot mostly, Go on my own projects. I treat SQL performance as part of my job rather than something to hand to a DBA.
- Aviation systems — aircraft weight & balance, load optimization, flight operations
- High-throughput messaging — Kafka pipelines over carrier gateways that behave inconsistently
- Batch and scheduling — restartable Spring Batch with checkpointing, replacing cron jobs that fail silently
- SQL performance — query rewrites and indexing, usually cheaper than new infrastructure
- Developer experience — internal CLIs, code generation, workflow automation
⚡ Designing systems that are reliable, observable, and a joy to operate.
