About

I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with 6+ years of experience making architecture-level decisions at enterprise scale. I’ve owned a 26-remote Module Federation platform at Nkia and rebuilt Telus’s core search system, delivering measurable improvements in performance, security, and reliability. I thrive on solving systemic problems, aligning cross-team goals, and delivering tangible results that reduce costs and boost uptime.

I’m skilled at breaking complex problems into independent, owner-friendly modules, mentoring junior engineers, and driving efficient CI/CD workflows. My work has consistently cut build times (1 hour to 8 minutes), reduced database size by 60%, improved search speed by 30%, and achieved 99.99% uptime on critical production systems.

Owned the end-to-end Module Federation Architecture across 26 remotes; designed the Host application, standardized shared dependency strategy, and served as the primary decision-maker for frontend architecture. Bridged architecture alignment between Korean and English-speaking teams across two time zones. Cut CI/CD build time from 1 hour to 8 minutes by redesigning the Jenkins pipeline with parallel execution, incremental builds, and caching.

Replaced legacy auth with HTTP-only Cookie model to prevent XSS and credential theft across the MFA platform.
