About

React/Next.js Frontend Engineer · DevOps

I build React/Next.js products end to end — from backend API integration through CI/CD, test automation, and security review. Most of my recent work has been on data-intensive platforms in biotech: 3D molecular visualization, scientific charting, and the bundle-size and delivery-pipeline discipline that keeps those products fast to load and safe to ship. I also use Claude Code and Codex to automate parts of testing, review, and refactoring in day-to-day development.

Experience

Arontier

— Frontend Engineer, Platform Team

Mar 2025 – Oct 2026 · Seoul-based

·Own frontend development on AD3, a protein structure analysis platform — Molstar/RDKit-based 3D visualization, analysis parameter forms, and route-scoped bundle optimization (32MB → 6.5MB, Lighthouse 29 → 78).
·Built viewer and interaction UI for a digital pathology (WSI) platform, including an OWASP ZAP-based security check ahead of an on-premise, regulated delivery.
·Designed a shared Jenkins Build-Test-Scan-Deploy pipeline (Cypress, Snyk, SonarQube) used across three frontend products — cut manual regression testing from ~5 hours to ~1 hour per release.
·Built 3D/2D molecular viewers for an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) data platform, and introduced a Claude Code-based workflow for automated test generation.
·Led AD3's E2E migration from Cypress to Playwright; ADC was built on Playwright from the start and set the conventions the migration followed.

·Built a recruiting and applicant-management service plus its admin panel (Next.js 14, React Hook Form, React Query).
·Introduced MSW to let frontend development and testing proceed ahead of backend API availability.
