Born in South Korea and raised in Dubai. Studied philosophy and computer science at Augustana University, located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
My life goal is to (a) work in a great, mission-driven company during the day so that I can make a living, and (b) spend my free time doing stuff that I truly care about, such as Nsustain, which stands for the e[N]vironment and [sustain]ability. I'm the maintainer at https://github.com/Nsustain
I made too many mistakes of making unrealistic, unspecific goals. In my college sophomore year, a shower thought struck my mind: I gotta make realistic, specific goals and put these on my GitHub.
This page keeps track of all my life goals. Plus, I use this page also to show what kind of projects I'm working on with as many pictures and as few words as possible.
My friends and I wrote this at 2023 MIT hackathon (HackMIT). It's a map to help beekeepers and their bees by finding which area has the best potential for honey yield by looking at Open Meteo's environmental data, such as precipitation and temperature. We host this as a web app on https://BeeMovr.nsustain.com
I integrated mfsBSD into the FreeBSD release tool set, documented at https://wiki.freebsd.org/SoobinRho
A short paper on this was published: mfsBSD in Base. 2024. FreeBSD Journal, Configuration Management, May-June Edition.
A college friend of mine and I created this because we realized it's hard for regular, normal people like us to contribute to environmental sustainability directly. So, the idea of Nsustain is that you can start making direct impact on environmental sustainability by asking people who actually work in the field, "what do you all need?" and then writing programs for whatever they need.
| Project | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Nsustain[1] | Help the e[N]vironment and [sustain]ability by coding for anyone who works in the field. Any programmer who shares our goal is welcome to join us. |
| BeeMovr[2] | Help beekeepers by coding whatever they need for their bees. |
| Good Life Farms[3] | Help local producers (farmers, beekeeprs, florists, and so on) by giving them a platform to serve their shareholders. Deisnged to be as self-sustainable as possible: it's built with Google Sheets and Google Forms instead of fancy, expensive databases. |
