I build the software layer between factory operations and autonomous mobile robots: AMR/AGV control systems, ROS 2 fleet integration, digital-twin simulation, and the web applications that operators use to run them. My current work is an AMR Control System that takes an order through mission dispatch, execution monitoring, recovery and traceability, and connects that operational software to ROS 2 fleets, PLC equipment and FlexSim simulation.

I came to robotics through web development. After a period of intensive self-study in 2021, I worked as a frontend and full-stack developer, and from 2024 I built smart-factory software: 3D and WebGL applications, logistics dashboards, and interfaces for AI vision and OCR systems, mostly with TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS, FastAPI and Python. I enjoy turning complex factory and robotics requirements into clear, reliable software.

That engineering work is supported by research and business education: a Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from Keimyung University and an MBA from the Asian Institute of Technology.
