Know. Evolve. Navigate
Hi I'm Ken!
I'm a former "I'll learn that framework this weekend" guy, now reformed into someone who occasionally touches grass.
Engineering leader by day, tool builder by night, and chronic optimizer of things that don't need optimizing.
I write about my experiences both in life and in tech, and I build tools to solve my problems. My interests span across software development, process improvement, quality assurance and artificial intelligence.
When I'm not writing, you'll find me reading webtoons, cooking, balancing the budget, or trying to debug parenthood.
