About

Hi, I'm Yitaek. I'm a 29 year old, software engineer working at NYDIG on the DevTools team. That means I'm helping build tools and infrastructure to make our developer more productive.

Besides writing code, I enjoy learning about new tech and breaking down complicated topics into simple terms. If you have an exciting project or a product, feel free to reach out via the contact form. I'm always happy to explore ways to collaborate, whether it is writing tutorials, featuring an interview on my blog, or holding deep-dive, consulting sessions on a regular basis.

Outside of work, I'm always planning for my next trip. I'm no fancy travel Instgram influencer, but I do love to explore new cultures, places, and try new foods around the world. I've also had my fair share of service trips and voluntourism and would love to chat about that any time.

Finally, a fun fact: go Google Duke basketball teletubby
