Hello! My name is Dae Kim.

I'm a teacher turned business owner turned
software engineer.

I was always fascinated with technology and the implications of innovation. Every stop along my path, from teaching ESL in Seoul to owning and managing a small business in New York, I had ideas that I wanted to implement. Once I started to get my hands dirty with creating technology, I knew I needed to switch careers. Once I sold the business, I wholeheartedly pursued web development and have never looked back.
