About Me

Hi, I'm Hyun Wook

I'm a software developer from Fiji currently based in Sydney, Australia. I'm obsessed about building software and I build both useless and useful ones because it's simply fun and fulfilling. I enjoy understanding how things work under the hood so I often spend time getting into the details of systems, programming languages, and databases.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, cracking open open-source projects to see what they are made of, building apps, or writing about software development on my blog.

What I'm Into

4 main areas of software development that excite me the most

End-to-End Development

Building complete solutions from frontend to backend is incredibly hard and time consuming but super rewarding to see them come together and provide real value.

Database Systems

Data engines and the intricacies of storage, retrieval, and optimization are fascinating pieces of engineering that I would love to explore more with more time.

Operating Systems

Process management, memory, threads, scheduling, and everything else that makes an operating system tick simply fascinates me.

Programming Languages

Type systems, lexers, parsers, compilers, interpreters, and the design choices that shape how we write code are topics I enjoy diving into.
