Driven by Passion!
Biography
Hi, I'm Kiwoon, a full-stack developer with a passion for creating beautiful, functional, and user-centered digital experiences. With over 2 years of experience in the field. I am always looking for new and innovative ways to bring the world!
My main experience is in full-stack development but I also have a passion for design. Given that producing a modern applicaiton requires the combination of design, server technology, and the layer that users interacts with, I believe having experience in both design and development allows for making the most optimal user experiences.
I believe that technology is about more than just making things look cool - it's about solving problems and creating intuitive, enjoyable experiences for users.
