Summary
Kumseok Jung is a research-focused software engineer and educator with 13 years of experience building reliable web and systems software from classroom demos to production SaaS. Based in Vancouver and pursuing a PhD in Computer Engineering at UBC, he blends hands-on development (Django/AngularJS, cloud ops) with systems research—his Microsoft Research internship produced Nekara, a reproducible concurrency testing prototype published at ASE 2021. As a long-time UBC instructor and guest lecturer he designs interactive labs and capture-the-flag exercises for web security, and he runs a client-facing consultancy that maintains an operational SaaS for a post-secondary customer. He has practical industrial experience deploying SCADA/RMS systems across Asia and improving IT infrastructure, showing an ability to move between low-level controls and high-level web platforms. Known for a playful curiosity (Github bio: return randnerd()), he aspires to be a "full-stack human" who spans research, teaching, and production engineering.
