Bio
Charlie Shin
One of the most brilliant and creative individuals that I've had the pleasure to work with.
Chad Wyszynski
What struck me about Steven Kim was his versatility and sincerity. I saw him play the roles of project manager, software architect, engineer, and business analyst. During code reviews, he contributed as much valuable feedback as any of the senior engineers. He often led design sessions before dashing off to hammer out requirements with product owners. Amid all of this, he continually sought feedback. He was attentive to his developers' requests while also standing by smart past decisions. Steven Kim is an effective technology leader, and I am confident he will exceed expectations in any role.
