hey, I'm jacob 현준 kim 👋

I'm a developer, writer, and an optimist. I currently work as a software engineer at Krafton logoKrafton, where I build Settlus, a Layer 1 blockchain built with Cosmos SDK and EVM.

I write about things I have learned along the way. Mostly about building software, tinkering with new and shiny technologies, and finance.

I am interested in building a layer one blockchain with a use case. Besides crypto, I try indie-hacking during my free time. Building a product by myself and having some users is one of my many dreams. This is why I recently started to fall in love with full stack development.
