Summary
Hyungrok Ham is a senior software engineer with 9 years of experience building high-throughput, cost-efficient data pipelines and ad systems, currently driving event and audience pipelines at Karrot. He has repeatedly delivered large-scale stream-processing solutions (Flink, Spark, Kafka, Dagster) that cut costs by up to 70% while improving accuracy and throughput—e.g., a Theta Sketch integration that improved counting accuracy 9× and a Flink migration that enabled exactly-once processing for 1B+ events/day. Previously at Bucketplace he applied domain-driven and hexagonal architectures to raise testability and availability, and tuned Flink to reduce peak lag by 95%. His background includes GPU-parallelized rendering, Webpack optimization, and early blockchain and storage-system work, reflecting a pragmatic blend of research-level systems thinking and hands-on production engineering. Based in South Korea with an MEng from KAIST, he pairs hustle-and-bustle drive with a track record of measurable impact in ads and data infrastructure.
