About.
I am Anthony
A Result-Oriented Full-Stack Developer based in Vancouver, Canada.
I was born in South Korea, built my early career in Japan’s semiconductor industry, and now live in Vancouver, Canada. Speaking three languages and working across cultures taught me how to adapt, listen, and connect — skills I carry into my development work today.
During the pandemic, I found myself stuck indoors and stumbled upon coding. What started as a way to pass the time became something I truly love. There’s something magical about creating real impact using just a laptop and an idea. I studied Computer Systems at BCIT and later completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science — and I haven’t looked back since.
Fun Fact About Me:
- 🎨
I believe the keyboard is a modern paintbrush. Coding is how I tell my story.
- 🧪
I used to sell semiconductor materials. Now I build software. Either way, I’ve always been passionate about making things work better.
- ☕
I can’t start my day without coffee or tea. It’s not just a drink, but it’s my daily routine that helps me slow down and focus on what matters.
- 🐶
I’m 100% a dog person. Every time I see one on the street, I forget everything else for a moment. Their joy is contagious!
- 🏞️
I love hiking through forests and mountains. Living in Vancouver means I’m never too far from nature which makes my heart feel at home. ❤
