Hello,

My name is Luke Kim and I'm a full stack developer. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2016 with a degree in Computer Science. I am flexible to my environment and can program in many different languages. I have a strong interest in web development and design. I am quick in picking up new tools, frameworks and skills that cover all ends of the stack. In addition to my experience as a developer I also have core skills as a designer from my embarrassing forum days in high school. While being a student leader at UVA, I developed strong client oriented skills that can lead any project to a better product. During my free time I enjoy playing Poker, Settlers of Catan and recently Overwatch.

Professor Oak's Lab

A prototype microservice architecture based E-commerce site for selling Pokemon GO listings. All seperate services developed and communicate with each other via Docker (docker-compose). The site is composed of four main layers, a web front-end, experience layer API (primary controller), model API layer, and a datastore. With the experience layer having access to a Kafka queue (buffer) for an Elastic Search container. This modular system design supports better scalability. For example, a mobile front-end is able to access the EXP layer to access data and we can continue to add features to the project without affecting other parts of the application infrastructure. This is only the beginning of a project for me to learn more about scaling web applications.

President Election

President Election is a Amazon Alexa Skill that is triggered by voice activation and responds with the latest poll between the Democratic and Republican candidates. The skill is hosted on AWS Lambda and makes a request to Huffington Post's Pollster API and passes that data through the Alexa Skill Kit to create a voice model and response for the user.
Available in the Alexa Skills Store.

Word Clock
