I am Ted Kim

Ted Kim

Software Engineer, Frienkly

Currently, I am primarily focused on mobile client development.
I have experience in server development and am quite familiar with AWS and GCP.
My server development experience is limited to developing new services or working in startup organizations, so I lack experience in architecture and distributed processing for large-scale services.
I have a keen interest in blockchain and machine learning, and I am studying them independently.
I possess strong communication skills and am comfortable with team management.
