# 1. Who am I

I earned my PhD in South Korea, then I am now working as a semiconductor engineer at a _Fortune 500 company_ in Silicon Valley.

# 2. My Strength

I have had the unusual opportunity to work across both **foundry and fabless**, as well as **post silicon and pre silicon**. That has given me a broad and practical view of the semiconductor industry, spanning **design, test, packaging, and yield**. I believe this is one of the biggest strengths of my writing.

I do not like writing in a way that is unnecessarily difficult. Deep technical analysis and paper level detail certainly matter. But what matters even more to me is **explaining complex semiconductor technologies in a way that ordinary readers can actually understand.**

I am also building a **global networking community of about 1,000 professionals** working at major tech companies around the world. Whenever possible, my technology and company analysis articles are grounded in interviews and conversations with people actually working in the field. I believe this is one of the clearest ways my work stands apart from other tech writers.

# 3. What I Offer

I explain the most **important semiconductor** and **AI technologies** in a way that is easy to understand.

I analyze companies that may benefit in the AI era but are still **underappreciated or undervalued.**

I provide field level insight gained through **networking with industry professionals**, beyond what can be seen in the news, and connect that insight to a **deeper explanation of what these technologies actually mean** for the industry and the market.

Please note that my articles are not investment advice. They are intended as analysis and interpretation of technology and industry trends.
