👋 Hello there, I'm Grimmer Kang

I'm passionate about making something good for people. I love science, programming, and psychology, but not limited to these. I have participated in IoT, Streaming, Astronomy, AI, and Medical-imaging (partial in work and side projects) domains. Use JavaScript/TypeScript/Python recently and used C/C++/C#/Objective-C and Go (side project) languages. I've successfully been a manager or leader in building mobile apps and full-stack teams and introduced Agile culture/flow in those organizations. Welcome any collaboration.
