YOU'RE GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE WAY I WORK, IN BUILDING MY CAREER
For the duration of 140 days of NCS course, I have completely absorbed myself in learning; 1120 class hours, 320+ hours of reading, 130+ hours of online video courses and much much more.
SIMPLE AND HUMBLE BEGINNING From the graphic designer with hands-on experience in the industry, I witnessed myself transform into a full-fledged web developer covering both front-end and back-end offices (FULL/MEAN STACK HOPEFUL)
I RUN A SMALL FARM AND WANTED A MENTAL EXERCISE TO INVIGORATE MY LIFE.
Fountain of 'ki,' surrounded with friends of same feathers. I enjoy every moment I spend in the farm, which is located near where I live. Motiff, inspiration, and peaceful but energetic revival are the rewards I receive for the small amount of time and effort I put in. Days are always short and nights are even shorter after hours under the sun. Life is as always will be, as if in a doldrum. I will be better off with something mentally invigorating and fruitful in terms of worldly estimation, which is exactly what I become of.

Bachelor - SMBA The Classes I took and projects I completed there contributed greatly to my development of skills such as teamwork and project-oriented work management. Presentations with classmates helped to hone my ability to colloborate constructively, which is still essential to my successful career path. My motto then was 'Divde and Conquer'. 'College Park '
sep 1985 - jun 1991
Accounting major I first enrolled in Biology Department of Kunkuk University with a dream for a big-shot future biochemist. I took to the USIS library, poring over books then realizing I should pursue the dream in America. With a almost perfect TOEFL score, I was admitted and started taking classes offered to US 8th Army GIs in Seoul, as a part of UM extension programs. It was a long years because I kept a job as an English Instructor. This is still true; I am always trying to balance work and study at the same time. 'U Maryland '

Translation and Design Department
It's most devastating and tumultuous year for me. I had to come home as Korea and the world in a sense had fallen to the deep dark years of economic chaos. I took up a night-shift as a building guard and worked as a freelancing teacher and translator to survive the few years economic aftermath. I joined Yulim Ads as an apprentice and became the chief operating director until I resigned in 2014. The company had clients such as Hana Tour, LG Ads, Sisa English, SK Constructions and small-medium-sized art/design companies in Seoul metro area.

Age is just a number when body and mind are refusing to succumb to the conventional norms and ideas how we should conform to the world.
WOW! MY LIFE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW. AS MY PASSION IS YOGA AND WILL BE ALWAYS; WEB DEVELOPMENT IS FAST CATCHING UP.
I seriously asked myself what I wanted from my life ever since my young adult years. How I die is one thing; what to decide at the right moment is another; and seeking a transcending level of awareness is the other. I chose reading, working out and practicing yoga as a way of melding these into my body and mind.
I believed that I could command at least 3 foreign tongues after I started teaching AFKN at Sisa. But I enjoyed too much reading. It virtually devoured all of my free time at the speed of a book over the weekend. (see the list here).
Computer language is my second tryout on the passion about language I left off at the time.
I took up yoga at the time when everyone seemed to accept the notion of 'over the hill'. Instead, I chose to keep my body flexible and in shape despite the age factors. Breathing, harmony, immersion in the pursuit of finding the inner most self is what I gained after 5 years of passionate yoga journey.
I believe yoga in a sheer sense encompasses all of the following three. Time, space and the fifth dimension I create during the yoga session are a part of the process to achieve my true self. Interacting with computer and world of internet provides me with means to reach my goals through commitment and devotion.
If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.
