About Me

Welcome to The Ajeossi Post!

Hi, I'm David! I'm an ajeossi and I write blog posts. Welcome to the Ajeossi Post, where I write about my experiences as a Korean American Ajeossi living in Korea.

If you want to hear an old man ramble on about his life, then keep reading.

My background

Originally from California, I moved to Korea in 2010 to experience living abroad in Asia.

I spent several years working in the English Education sector, performing a variety of different jobs within the industry. I started out as a teacher, did a bit of recruiting and writing, and eventually climbed my way up to a managerial position at a major education company.

After doing that for several more years, I teamed up with a few of my colleagues to build our own Education and Publishing company in Korea.

During this time, I authored a few books and started to learn to code for the sake of the business. Having had zero experience in coding, I went through tutorial after tutorial on Youtube and Udemy and eventually learned enough to meet our business requirements.

Unfortunately, our business failed after 3 long years but I gained valuable skills. Leveraging what I had learned, I transitioned my way into the world of tech and now live in Korea as a software engineer.

More about me

I love a good Korean bbq and enjoy exploring the country. I've been to every corner of Korea and even biked through it from Incheon to Busan.

In 2011, I met the love of my life, my wife, Jisun. We currently reside in Seoul, along with our adorable cat, Miru.
