ABOUT ME

Thanks for stopping by my page!

I hope this site offers you a glimpse into my career as an engineer. I'm putting some projects that showcases my skillset the best, updating as often as possible.

My name is Kim, and I specialize in the design of robotic equipment, thermal management solutions, electro-mechanical problems, and also have extensive experience in manufacturing operations.

I am currently a full time engineer working on developing entertainment lighting systems. I wanted to become an engineer because I have a natural passion for discovering how things worked. I graduated with honors from The University of North Texas with a Mechanical & Energy Engineering degree.

Feel free to explore my portfolio to learn more about my work and interests.

*PS, the coolest thing about my work is that I can showcase it by showing my concert videos*
