Chief Technology Officer @ Cliwant
Education

University of auckland
2010 - 2014Bachelor’s degree software engineering (hons)Activities and Societies: Auckland University Korean Students' Association (AKSA) Looking back, engineering has helped me a lot in understanding not just to deliver a software solution, but the methodologies and mindset around customer interaction. I define "engineer" as not just someone who's able to find a solution for a product from a technical standpoint, but someone who's adept at applying the project management skills to the solution where the key is to understand the true intentions of both parties.
