Hello, my name is David Kim, and I am a passionate software engineer dedicated to creating innovative applications that enrich our daily lives. With experience building full-stack web and mobile applications using a variety of Javascript-based libraries and frameworks, I bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to every project. As a tech enthusiast, I remain at the forefront of emerging technologies that are changing the world for the better. Nothing brings me greater joy than exploring how the world is evolving through technological advancements and being a part of this exciting journey.
As a frontend engineer at climate tech SaaS company cove.tool, I've contributed to the development of drawing.tool, a 3D building modeling tool. Utilizing React and three.js, I've implemented features, optimized performance, and created interactive user interfaces. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I've helped architects, engineers, and builders make data-driven decisions for sustainable building design. My work on drawing.tool has been instrumental in reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment and promoting energy efficiency.
Leveraging my finance degree and past experience as a crypto trader/analyst, I capitalized on the growing cryptocurrency market, confidently managing my family's $135,000 investment. Within a year and a half, I grew it to $800,000, benefiting my parents financially and deepening my knowledge of web3 technologies and investment strategies. This journey expanded my understanding of blockchain, decentralized applications, and digital asset management, fueling my passion for the evolving world of cryptocurrency and web3 technology.
As a remote Front-End developer for Atomic.dev, I played a key role in building a cutting-edge low-code SaaS platform. Leveraging my expertise in React, HTML, and CSS, I developed a multi-page web application that streamlined low-code development. Additionally, I spearheaded the reorganization of existing React states by implementing Redux. To ensure a seamless user experience, I was also tasked with converting legacy jQuery code into Vanilla Javascript, and successfully integrated it into the main React platform.
Following my initial success in cryptocurrency trading, I sought to challenge myself in the fast-paced world of professional equity trading on Wall Street. During this time, I gained exposure to a variety of advanced trading techniques and strategies. As a result, I became proficient in tasks such as forecasting target prices of equities by building complex financial models, monitoring order books and options activities, and analyzing macroeconomic and market conditions by closely monitoring economic indicators and analyst reports.
Undoubtedly one of the most significant events in my life, I embarked on a journey to analyze and trade cryptocurrencies with an initial investment of $25,000, which I had borrowed from my mom. Through tireless study and constant monitoring of 20 plus different cryptocurrencies, coupled with technical analysis, I achieved an astounding return of over 2,000%, ultimately cashing out $600,000 a year later. Not only did this event provide me with financial reward, but it also served as a powerful motivator for me to transition my career into the tech industry.
