About Me

Hi Guys! 🙋‍♂️    

I'm Ilmin Cho, a proud 2023 graduate of UMass Amherst with a degree in Computer Science 👨‍🎓. My journey in technology has been an eclectic mix of experiences and interests, shaping me into the software engineer I am today. While my professional focus lies in full-stack development, my curiosity often leads me to the fascinating realms of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. I would like to take a break from academic studies and engage in business to contribute my abilities to society. As I continue on this journey, I am excited about the endless possibilities that lie ahead and am eager to contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving world of technology 🌎.

Born and raised in South Korea, my formative years were shaped by a deep-seated passion for intellectual challenges and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. This journey began with an exploration of mechanical engineering 🦾, where I honed my problem-solving skills, and extended into a role as a Telecommunications Operations Specialist 📡, further diversifying my technical expertise. My diverse experiences in these fields not only sharpened my technical acumen but also instilled a sense of flexibility and resilience, qualities that are indispensable in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

In 2019, I made a strategic transition into software engineering 👨‍💻, a field that promised new challenges and learning opportunities. Embracing this new path wholeheartedly, I quickly adapted to the dynamic nature of software development, continually stepping out of my comfort zone to immerse myself in new technologies and methodologies. In this spirit, I remain dedicated to a lifelong journey of learning and growth 🚀.

When I'm not coding or exploring new tech trends, you’ll likely find me lacing up for a run 🏃‍♂️ or experimenting in the kitchen 👨‍🍳. I believe balance is a key. These activities keep me healthy and allow me to connect with like-minded people. So, if you're into running, love a good cooking challenge, or just want to chat about the latest in tech, I'm your guy!
