About Me
I am a product-minded Backend Developer focused on building server-side systems that are stable, secure, and scalable as real usage grows.
From Java/Spring Boot and PHP (Laravel, CakePHP) to FastAPI, I typically own API design, data modeling, authentication flows, and containerized delivery so teams can ship consistently from local to production.
Across my public GitHub projects, I prioritize clear architecture, clean code, and disciplined engineering workflows with linting/testing to solve problems like OCR/TTS, AI-powered exam generation, WordPress automation, and Gemini-integrated learning platforms.

Featured Projects
Smart Manga Website Platform with OCR and TTS
Full-stack Developer
Independently built a complete website using Java Spring Boot (Backend) and Next.js (Frontend). Integrated intelligent features: OCR for extracting dialogue from images and TTS for converting text into speech.
Personal Finance App (Flutter, Offline-first)
Flutter Developer
This project was built with a vibe coding approach to accelerate MVP delivery: I used AI to speed up scaffolding, then manually reviewed architecture and stabilized critical data flows. Developed a cross-platform personal finance mobile app with Flutter, using Riverpod for state management, Drift (SQLite) for offline-first local storage, and Supabase for authentication/cloud features. Added navigation with go_router, data visualization with charts, and CSV export/sharing utilities.
Auto Gen Test Exam (AI-Powered Exam Generator)
Full-stack Developer
This is a vibe-coded full-stack AI project: I used AI to accelerate implementation, then focused on API quality, module structure, and production readiness. The backend uses FastAPI (Python) to orchestrate Gemini API and expose REST endpoints, while the frontend is built with Next.js. The project includes a Git-based CI/CD workflow and is currently deployed with the frontend on Vercel and the backend on Render, plus local development support via Docker Compose and Makefile for setup, testing, and linting.
WordPress: Auto Update/Sync Videos to YouTube
WordPress Developer
Developed a WordPress-based solution (PHP-focused) to automate updating/syncing video content to YouTube. The project is containerized with Docker Compose for quick local setup, and includes a workflow to install plugin dependencies via Composer inside wp-content/plugins.
EduSmart – AI-Powered Learning Assistant Platform
Team Leader
Built a full-stack web application for personalized learning support. Frontend is developed with Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui and uses NextAuth for authentication. Backend is implemented with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy ORM, JWT auth, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation, with Google Gemini AI integrated to power the AI chat and learning features.
Texture-Based Image Search System
Team Leader
Led the team in planning and developing the application as a major coursework project. Directly implemented image-processing algorithms using C# WinForms and built Gabor filters for feature extraction.
