Seoul, South Korea
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaeho Kim is a serial founder and seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of experience building scalable backend systems, most recently founding Tab0 to bring "Palantir for individuals" to longevity data and running early-stage venture and startup efforts through Routine Ventures. He has held senior technical and executive roles—from CTO and VP of Engineering at Banksalad to Head of Service Core at Karrot—and was an early product-foundations engineer at Lyft and a Sr. Principal Engineer at Coupang, shipping infrastructure, APIs, and CI/CD at scale. Taeho blends deep systems expertise (Golang, Python, gRPC, containers, mesh, cloud) with product instincts honed by multiple startups, including an exit when Recomio was acquired by Coupang. He pairs hands-on engineering with operator-level product execution and a knack for turning manual processes into algorithmic, scalable services. Based in Seoul, he moves fluidly between founding new ventures and guiding corporate R&D, and his career highlights include practical innovations in recommendation services, video SDKs, and large-scale backend frameworks. An accomplished bootstrapper, he often focuses on high-impact, pragmatic solutions rather than textbook designs.
