Profile: https://flows.cv/minyoung

I'm a highly self-motivated person, always seeking to further and improve myself. I enjoy the challenge of learning something new and applying it in a meaningful manner. Fast iterations and sense of impact are very important to me. If no one wants/needs your product, then why build it?

Specialties: C, C++, C#, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL, Linux
