Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyeonguk Son is a seasoned engineering leader with 16 years of hands-on experience and two decades in game development who now heads Plugo's engineering organization from Seoul. He specializes in operational cost reduction and throughput optimization, recently driving a migration from Kubernetes microservices to an AWS Lambda serverless architecture while standardizing API-first workflows with TypeSpec and OpenAPI-driven stubs. A pragmatic coach and builder, he hires, mentors, and shapes team culture across multi-national teams in Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia, turning former individual-contributor strengths into multiplier-level organizational capability. His background launching massively concurrent online games (supporting up to a million PCU across East Asia) gives him rare expertise in scalable, resilient systems and live operations. Now focused on e-commerce, he brings the discipline of game ops—monitoring, CI, fault-tolerant design, and rapid iteration—to products that aim to change users’ everyday lives.
