Summary
Larry Kim is a seasoned senior software engineer based in Seoul with 12 years of professional experience and nearly 20 years of hands-on work in web technologies. He specializes in JavaScript and front-end ecosystems, having led migrations to React and Next.js, implemented modern bundling and PWA patterns, and built scalable commerce and live-streaming features. Larry has driven performance and infrastructure improvements across roles—from Yahoo! news back-ends to Market Kurly’s cart and order systems and Lunit’s JavaScript stack—often reducing DB load, adopting CDNs, and enabling auto-scaling.
