Seoul · Technology Governance & Operational Reliability
Based in Seoul. My work spans internal audit, technology governance, and operational controls inside a regulated market-infrastructure environment. I am most useful where complex systems, hard compliance constraints, and real user trust meet.
Open to conversations about operational reliability, governance tooling, and long-form writing on adjacent topics.
