From Computer Science to Surviving the IT World
My journey began with a computer-related education, followed by a handful of IT certifications that might come in handy someday. I'm still waiting for some of them to prove their worth.
Since then, I've spent over 10 years surviving the wild world of IT at a major Korean tech company — navigating endless meetings, impossible deadlines, unexpected bugs, and projects that somehow always turn out to be more complicated than they looked on PowerPoint.
Along the way, I've worked on software development, system implementation, and Smart Factory projects. I've managed IT initiatives, coordinated with stakeholders, and helped turn ambitious ideas into systems that actually work — most of the time, anyway.
I've worn quite a few hats: developer, project manager, problem solver, occasional firefighter, and professional translator between technical teams and people who just want things to work. Some days, the hardest part isn't the technology. It's explaining why adding "just one small feature" might take three weeks.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing about IT, sharing what I've learned, and making complicated technology a little less intimidating. That curiosity eventually led me to create Funifynote.
Here, I turn technical concepts into interactive simulations and practical tools, mixing real-world experience with a bit of curiosity, experimentation, and humor.
Because technology is complicated enough already. Learning it shouldn't have to be.
