<h2>Professional Summary</h2>
<p class="summary">Founder-CTO and AI product engineer who builds products where domain workflows, AI systems, and monetization meet. Currently focused on HoverNotes, a revenue-generating AI video learning product with over $10K/month revenue and around 20K Chrome/Edge installs, and Quest, a safari-operator SaaS platform I co-founded as CTO. Strongest at turning awkward manual workflows into trusted software: understand the domain, design the product and business loop, build the full stack, instrument behavior, and iterate in production. Current xAI Human Data contract work adds hands-on signal in software-engineering model evaluation. Fluent in Korean and English.</p>
