Bio
Colby Palmer
Yun is a rare hybrid of many things: product owner, web producer, project manager, operational strategist, diplomat and leader. I worked with him in a couple different roles at Whalerock Industries, but as Director of Platform Product he really shines. Yun is super smart and technical enough to speak engineering with the developers. He also is very strategic in his approach to documentation and prioritization across many different properties. His well-thought-out product spec format became the standard for our Jira project layouts. He also maintains great relationships with all the players in the Whalerock universe, is very highly regarded across the board, and gets along great with absolutely everyone. All these qualities add up to one amazing resource. I can definitely say that Yun is someone you can count on, and I recommend his work very highly.

Yun is an impressive manager. His tireless dedication, candid approach, and unflinching positivity inspires synergy between people in and outside his team. With his interaction design chops and the ability to lead a large team, he is uniquely equipped to turn any product idea into captivating reality. If there’s anything more significant than his intelligence, it’s his thoughtfulness and wonderful sense of humor. He never fails to infuse the room with laughter and he's always full of encouragement. Yun is the finest specimen of an exceptional leader and mentor. It is such a privilege to work with him!
