About
Hello and welcome to my website! I’m Doyoon, a software engineer passionate about building thoughtful, user-focused products.
I enjoy taking ideas and turning them into well-crafted products, combining thoughtful engineering with a focus on the people who use them. As a former designer, I care deeply about how products feel to use, not just how the work, and I love collaborating across disciplines to build things that are both functional and delightful!
I’m always looking to learn and explore new technologies, whether it’s picking up a new framework, diving into a challenging technical problem, or building an app from scratch. I’m especially drawn to opportunities where I can own projects end-to-end and create meaningful impact for users.
I’m always open to connect so please feel free to reach out!
