Heewon Kang is a software engineer with 8 years of experience building performant commerce and creator platforms, currently focused on CLASS101’s Commerce Platform. He has driven measurable product impact—cutting class discovery latency from 10s to under 100ms and lifting conversions by 10%—and improved web performance by halving First Contentful Paint through smart caching strategies. Heewon has led migrations to modern architectures (React Router to Next.js), implemented CQRS-based i18n for global launches, and introduced new product categories and operational practices like on-call playbooks and cross-team discovery services. Equally comfortable shipping user-facing improvements and backend systems, he blends hands-on engineering with a knack for process and team-building that accelerates both technical quality and product adoption.
