박성범 Simon Park

Simon Park is a software engineer based in South Korea. He became an engineer out of a belief that well-designed systems and processes solve problems better than any one person’s brilliance. He currently works at a fintech company, building tools that help frontend developers ship products quickly and easily, while establishing policies and standards to keep the internal package ecosystem robust. Previously, he worked at a fashion commerce company developing high-availability servers focused on caching and fault-tolerant systems.

He builds software for his own needs and shaves yaks as a hobby. He is a regular donor to the Mozilla Foundation, plays squash twice a week, and reads before bed. He keeps a bookshelf tracking what he has read, is reading, and wants to read. He also tends a digital garden.
