Full-Stack Developer @ Thinkstorm
Incheon, South Korea
Hey, Everyone! I'm Dahee Kim
A self-taught software engineer based in Incheon, South Korea. I'm deeply passionate about both frontend and backend development, and I also have a growing fascination with how artificial intelligence bridges the gap between human language and computers.
I began coding in 2017, the year I started college. Through an unexpected turn of events(which can be very long to explain here 😅), I found myself curious about how computers work from the ground up. So I decided to pursue Computer Science alongside my main field of study. In 2023, I landed my first job as a Full-Stack Developer!
I'm currently working on the ThinkStorm Project while diving deeper into Next.js, Nest.js, DevOps, and System Design.
This blog is my digital lab where I document things I learn, build, and break. Writing helps me think clearly, solve problems better, and connect with other curious developers like you. 😊
I would greatly appreciate any comments and thoughts on my posts.
