About Me
The non-resume version.
Hi there!
I'm a product manager with hands-on software engineering experience, based in Seattle and currently at Meta working on monetization and platform products that reach billions of users. Before Meta, I spent nearly a decade at Amazon, shipping GenAI-powered Alexa features, scaling global supply chains, launching grocery delivery across three countries, and building a luxury watches category from scratch.
My career started in luxury retail in Seoul at Shilla Duty Free (Samsung Group), where I managed a $111M portfolio of watch brands. I went on to earn my MBA at Columbia Business School, interned at Louis Vuitton in New York, and eventually made my way to tech. I also completed Amazon's Technical Academy for software engineering and General Assembly's UX Design program.
I speak three languages: Korean (native), Japanese (JLPT N1), and English. I love bridging worlds, whether that's across cultures, between engineering and business, or from customer pain points to scalable solutions.
When I'm not heads-down on a product problem, you'll find me on the golf course, at a pottery studio, curled up with a book, or hanging out with my dogs.

Things I Enjoy
A few of the hobbies that keep me balanced outside of work.
Sports
Golf, tennis, and skiing. Always up for getting outdoors and staying active, rain or shine in Seattle.
Arts & Crafts
Painting, pottery, knitting, and sewing. I love making things with my hands. It's the perfect counterbalance to screen time.
Reading
Always have a book going, from product strategy and business to fiction. Best enjoyed with a dog on my lap.
Dogs
My dogs are my favorite coworkers. They have their own page on this site. Go say hi.
