Two projects in motion: GigFinesse, a national marketplace for booking live music, and MAINLINE, a curation studio for bespoke private events. Based in Austin. Reach me on LinkedIn.
GigFinesse is the booking engine for live music at scale. Our platform has powered more than 50,000 shows in 70+ cities, from intimate rooftop sessions to marquee venue performances. Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 and Crain's Business.
MAINLINE curates one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences designed to leave an indelible mark. From concept to execution, we craft unforgettable private events that deliver unparalleled sophistication and world-class entertainment.
Born in South Korea in 1995. Studied at MIT, cycling through math, mechanical engineering, and finally EECS. Before GigFinesse, I worked on privacy at Google, on the Android Wi-Fi team.
I'm drawn to industries that haven't been modernized yet. The ones still running on phone calls, spreadsheets, and institutional memory. My bias is toward products that are stable, maintainable, and good to use: the kind of software operators come back to on their worst day, not their best.
Outside of building: travel (35 countries so far), hotels, and fountain pens.
