Hands-on support
I completed a full spectrum accounting education from my bachelor's, master's, CPA to working at a big accounting firm. This was all in a half-hearted attempt to rebel against my parent's wanting me to be a doctor/lawyer. In the end, I lost years of doing the work I actually love: using factual data to make important decisions for all things and making that accessible through open source, not just accounting. I wish I had mentors that empowered me to run towards problems that excite me rather than run away from one career to another. I hope to be that mentor I wish I had. Whether it's career or specific tech advice related to my skills, I've lived and breathed the problems you're facing now.
I'm excited to see you step closer to becoming someone you're proud of.

Sung has been my mentor in different seasons since 2021 when I initially wanted to make the transition from strict analytics work with light coding experience to full-on Data Engineering. The best thing I can say about him as a mentor is really the empathy he has combined with the drive and stickiness to keep being on the front-end of where the field is going. He is always exceptionally transparent and candid about what it takes and will always meet you where you are at. I had non-traditional career movement to where I'm at now as a mid-level Snowflake/dbt engineer for CamoAg, and he patiently shepherded me through both functional tooling and engineering-based problems and use cases that I wasn't getting in my then work experiences. I recently picked him up again for a few months to get a better understanding in how to practically transition from being a traditional developer to one that leverages large scale AI-enabled workflows effectively and it ended up being exceptionally meaningful because he had already been taking on similar implementations over on the West Coast.

Working with Sung has been incredibly fruitful so far. His expertise of the tech industry and his deep experience of how organizations work have accelerated immensely my way towards clarity on what to do next with my career. I'd recommend anyone in my situation (working in data for a few years, and searching for a coherent next step in their personal path) to work with him. His responsiveness and ease of articulation make it a joyful breeze. Thanks Sung!

I have a few years of niche data engineering experience, and I was struggling to find the right path forward for my career other than getting a remote role on a high-ownership team. Sung helped me define a direction, craft a tailored resume, and build a learning path to help me achieve my goal. I enjoyed learning from him and greatly appreciated how exacting he was in helping me identify the right job opportunities to pursue and optimizing my resume.
