I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Taekus, where I build end-to-end fintech infrastructure and lead development for our mobile app.
My background spans full-stack development, product design, and human-computer interaction — all driven by a fascination with how humans and technology can collaborate creatively.
Before Taekus, I studied Computer Science at the University of Chicago, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction.
My research on haptics in mixed reality, Touch&Fold: A Foldable Haptic Actuator for Rendering Touch in Mixed Reality, was published at CHI ’21 and received an Honorable Mention for Best Paper (top 5% of submissions) — read it here.
