Hi, I'm Boosung 👋

I am a Software Engineer specializing in building Backend and ML systems with over 2 years of experience. I am currently volunteering as an AI Solutions Architect Intern at 84 Lumber while attending college (Junior).

My interest in software development began in college when I decided to create a better college cafeteria interface with Python. Little did I know, balancing API calls and pita 🌮 options would be easier than navigating the complex tastes of college students. Who knew that an extra mayo option could crash a server?

Fast forward to today, I've had the privilege of working at 84 Lumber, university labs, the South Korean Army Intelligence, and a Korean start-up. My main focus these days are building accessible digital services and completing my college diploma (expected May 2025).

Away from my keyboard, I'm all about the outdoors. You'll often find me taking walks 🚶, enjoying hot springs ♨️, or star-gazing in open fields 🌠.
