Media, technology, and the stories people trust. I build things that connect people and help them tell what's true.

World events. Informed investing.
I started building Kati to filter misinformation out of my own stock investing decisions. It connects world events with markets: sourced news, investment scenarios to compare, and a virtual portfolio to learn with, in Korean and English.
Officially launched on the web in July 2026.
Photography · Seoul, 2026
Busan + Budapest, my first solo exhibition.
I've studied photography formally and have shot photos and video since 9th grade. Busanpest brings together visual memories of Busan, where I was born, and Budapest, where I live now.
Student producer
Selected as 1 of 2 student producers for AISB's largest concert. I turned it into the school's first rock-themed show, with 300+ attendees from multiple international schools.
Photography volunteer
I taught photography and editing to 23 adults with autism and intellectual disabilities. Together we curated a 100-photo, family-themed exhibition at their welfare center.
Fundraising project
I made, marketed, and sold handmade candles to raise money for communities in need, and donated the proceeds through two separate campus campaigns.
Photography intern
I photographed Jeju Island landscapes and the guesthouse's spaces and guests, then designed themed brochures promoted to international visitors.
Ran the club's operations, set up officer roles, and started weekly mock startup pitch sessions.
Monthly school contests and interschool competitions, solving hard problems as a team under time pressure.
AISB varsity/JV, training year-round and playing international tournaments. Most Improved Player Award.
Piano since age 5, four annual school concerts (100+ attendees each), keyboard in several bands.
I've spent most of my life figuring out how to belong somewhere new. Communication is what makes that possible.
I've lived in three countries, studied in two languages, and grown up between cultures. Born in Busan, raised partly in Malaysia, educated in Korea, and now in Budapest.
Everywhere I went, it came down to more than language: the stories people tell, the images they share, the news they trust. I got interested in how media shapes what we believe, and started asking what happens when that breaks down.
So I built an app to filter misinformation. I taught photography to adults with disabilities. I hosted a rock festival. I made candles to raise money for people in need. These things aren't random. They're all about how we share meaning with each other.
Now a senior at the American International School of Budapest.
