Work Experiences

CallNet Korea. Seoul, S.Korea

Junior Software Engineer | 2022 – Present

  • Developed and maintained PHP (Laravel) + React web applications integrated with the company's contact center solution in both Linux and Windows environments.
  • Built customized APIs according to client’s requirements such as call control, agent status monitoring, and real-time dashboards for agents and supervisors.
  • Modified and maintained contact center solution modules written in C and C++ according to client’s requirements.

What I did

  • 1. Legacy Code Audit and Enhancement
    • Remediated security vulnerabilities.
    • Optimized data processing bottlenecks.
  • 2. Modern Development Environment Proposal and System Design
    • Transitioned from procedural legacy PHP to a Laravel + React based architecture.
    • Established code conventions.
  • 3. In-house Git Server Deployment
    • Built an in-house Git server(built with Gitea) to facilitate project configuration management.

What I learned

  • 1. Latest technology is not always the answer. Customers pay for solutions that meet their needs, not for the technology itself.
  • 2. Technology is not the only solution. Non-technical approaches (such as communication and attitude) can also be effective ways to solve problems.
  • 3. Code must be tested.
  • 4. What is good or bad is context-dependent. While technical standards exist, the "best" code depends on the specific situation and constraints.
  • 5. Being a "good collaborator" is more valuable than being an "egoistic artist" in a team.
