"Can I say something?
Um, I'm the type of person that if you ask me a question and I don't know the answer, I'm gonna tell you that I don't know.
But I bet you what, I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer."

- "Fictional character: Chris Gardner". "The Pursuit of Happyness", 2006.

This sentence is a famous line by Will Smith in the movie "The pursuit of happiness" and it is the sentence that best describes me as a programmer.

I am a passionate, responsible and committed software engineer with the ability to build an application with robust and scalable architectures. My areas of expertise are designing data analysis backends employing distributed technologies in a cloud computing context and full-text search experiences.

스타트업을 시작하는 프로그래머를 위한 거의 모든 것

IT 기술 기반의 스타트업을 구현하려면 다양한 분야의 지식과 경험이 필요한다. 그러나 스타트업의 특성상 초기에 이러한 지식과 경험을 가진 전문가를 영입하기란 매우 어렵다. 그렇다고 해서 한 명이 모든 분야의 전문성을 갖추기란 어렵다.

이 책은 스타트업을 구현하는 데 필요한 각 분야의 기술을 알아보고 실제 구현하는 방법을 알아봄으로써, 스타트업에서 경험하지 않으면 알기 어려운 것들과 적은 인력으로 초기에 겪어야 할 기술적 수행착오를 줄이고자 한다. 또한, 알맞은 기술 요소 선택과 하나의 서비스가 어떻게 이루어지는지 관심이 있으신 분들께 추천한다.
