Hello, I'm Seorang Lee.
My Story
I did not start learning development because I loved technology.
I started because I wanted to solve real-world problems, and data became one of the tools to do that.
Curiosity
Finding everyday problems
Exploring public data
Building services
Creating meaningful user experiences
What I Build
Using government and public datasets to improve daily life.
Transforming complex information into intuitive insights.
Building practical solutions around real user needs.
Testing new concepts and turning ideas into products.
Projects
The Problem
Small teams were drowning in complex tools like Jira — spending more time managing the tool than doing the actual work.
The Solution
Built a minimal real-time project tool focused on flow — kanban boards, time tracking, and WebSocket-based live collaboration.
The Impact
Teams ship faster when their tools don't get in the way. Simple, focused tools reduce overhead and let people do the actual work.
Invoicing platform for independent contractors
The Problem
Freelancers were juggling spreadsheets, emails, and multiple apps just to get paid — turning every payment cycle into an administrative burden.
The Solution
Created an end-to-end invoicing platform with recurring billing, PDF generation, and Stripe — so freelancers can focus on their craft, not the paperwork.
The Impact
When financial admin is automated, independent workers can spend more time on work that matters — not chasing payments.
The Problem
People consume vast amounts of information but struggle to retain and organize it. Reading more doesn't always lead to knowing more.
The Solution
Built an AI-powered app that automatically structures and summarizes long-form content, turning information overload into organized, searchable knowledge.
The Impact
The goal isn't to read more — it's to understand better. AI-assisted summarization helps people extract value from the content they already consume.
Thoughts
Notes on public data, service design, and building things that matter.
Exploring how government datasets reveal patterns in the places we live.
The difference between a chart that informs and one that just exists.
Building software isn't just writing code — it's deciding which problems are worth solving.
Lessons from building things people actually use — and what surprised me along the way.
Skills
Capabilities grouped by what they help me build — not just names of tools.
Building Interfaces
