I am a professional translator between English and Korean. I have worked in this area for the last 6 years, involved in various translation projects. I was born in South Korea and had lived in the U.S. for 20 years, and now I am living in South Korea, so I am pretty much bilingual. I've got Ph.D. in Visual Science at New York University. Thus, I am not only proficient in translation, but also well-read in various topics.

I build the boring-but-expensive parts of your business into automations that run themselves - CRM syncs, document generation, lead routing, and AI-assisted workflows. Most of my projects start the same way: someone on your team is copying data between two tools by hand, every single day. I map that workflow, rebuild it in Make or n8n, test it against your real records, and hand it over with documentation your team can actually maintain. WHAT I BUILD - Form or webhook to CRM / database pipelines, with de-duplication so the same person is never created twice - AI classification and routing: a model reads each inbound message and sets category, urgency, a one-line summary and a draft reply before a human sees it - Document and report generation from spreadsheet or database rows - API integrations between tools that have no native connector - Retry routes and alerts, so a failed record is flagged instead of quietly lost The two systems in my portfolio below are demos I built and run myself - not client work. You can see exactly what they do instead of taking my word for it. KOREAN AND ENGLISH Korean is my first language and I have worked in English-Korean translation, both directions, for over five years. I also take on: - Translation and proofreading, EN to KO and KO to EN: documents, websites, app and product copy, marketing material, subtitles - Localization review - catching lines that are technically correct but read as machine output. Korean register and honorifics decide how a brand sounds, and that is exactly where automatic translation goes wrong - Research inside Korean sources: public databases, court and regulatory records, corporate filings, government open data, local market and competitor research A lot of Korean material never reaches the English web. Government portals, court records and registry systems are either not indexed in English or require a Korean identity certificate that a foreign company cannot obtain. Being here means I can open those pages, read them, and report back in clear English. If you are selling into Korea, sourcing from Korean suppliers, or serving a Korean-language audience, I can handle the content as well as the pipeline. Most automation freelancers can only do one of those. I am based in Korea (KST, UTC+9). In practice that usually means your automation gets fixed while the US is asleep. Tell me what you need connected, or what you need translated. I will reply with a specific plan and an honest estimate - not a template.

Korean journalist, ghostwriter, and translator with 10 years on the international desk of a national general daily newspaper. I interview people — from crime-world operators to veteran artists to civic activists — and turn unstructured conversation into a single, resonant narrative written in the subject’s own voice. For three-plus years I have worked daily with columnists across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, translating not only their words but their cultural context into polished, register-appropriate Korean. I combine deep East Asian affairs knowledge and native Korean-language command with a proven ability to capture the story others miss — and to say what subjects could not articulate themselves.
