Projects

HUFS CODE MASTER - Algorithm Learning Platform for HUFS Apr 2026 - Present
Team project | Live production service

• Backend

  • Built an online judge powered by DOMjudge judgehosts
    • Supported C, C++, Java, and Python submissions with exact, whitespace-insensitive, floating-point, and custom judging
    • Delivered real-time judging progress and per-test-case results through Server-Sent Events
  • Implemented authentication and user management with HUFS SSO
    • Decoupled SSO user UUIDs from internal service IDs and applied Redis-backed session authentication
    • Built role-based access control and audit logging for students, instructors, professors, and administrators
  • Implemented learning history and motivation features
    • Provided weekly solve counts, current and longest streaks, activity heatmaps, tiers, and per-problem progress
    • Designed answer processing to update learning history and track progress consistently in a single flow
  • Expanded the service into an always-on programming learning platform with classrooms, exams, quizzes, a community, and administrative tools

• AI

  • Built a local LLM-powered code feedback system
    • Structured problem statements, submitted code, test cases, expected and actual output, errors, execution time, and memory usage as model input
    • Provided root-cause analysis and improvement guidance along with time-complexity analysis and relevant algorithm concepts
    • Decoupled the Spring Boot backend from the AI inference server through an asynchronous job and callback workflow
    • Built an operational workflow with request-state tracking, automatic cancellation of long-running jobs, and result notifications
    • Adopted an Ollama-based local model to avoid recurring commercial API costs, with request queues and usage limits for constrained hardware

• Infrastructure

  • Built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
    • Ran Gradle builds and tests for backend pull requests, then built and transferred JAR files to a Mac mini server and restarted the Spring container automatically for production deployments
    • Automated frontend TypeScript checks and production deployments to Vercel
  • Deployed Spring Boot, MariaDB, and Redis on a Mac mini with Docker Compose
  • Configured a native Nginx reverse proxy and automatic TLS renewal, restricting application and database management ports to the local network

• Operations

  • Operated four learning tracks ranging from introductory to advanced
  • Ran a winter algorithm camp using learning materials developed by Professor Chan-Soo Shin
  • Continued operating and improving the service after its release as an official extracurricular program, using usage data and feedback from students and faculty
  • Worked with the Department of Computer Engineering and the Office of Information Technology to support programming courses and HUFS CODE FESTIVAL as an official learning platform

• Achievement: Grand Prize, 13th Bring Your Own Idea Competition (HUFS President's Award)

대현.com - Utility Service for Mafia42 Players Sep 2020 - Present
Personal project | Live production service

• Infrastructure
  • Built a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
    • CI: Automated Gradle builds, Docker image creation, and pushes to GHCR
    • CD: Automated GHCR pulls, blue-green container startup, and Nginx traffic switching on the production server
  • Monitoring
    • Built server and container monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
• Backend
  • Improved performance for high-volume query APIs
    • Replaced request-time full-data computation with precomputed snapshot-based reads
    • Added composite indexes tailored to query patterns to improve critical database query performance
    • Introduced pagination and server-side search to reduce API response cost and frontend rendering load
      • Improved production database query time by approximately 7x and reduced API response payload by approximately 33x
• AI
  • Built an LLM-powered gameplay feedback system
    • Structured replay chat logs and game context to evaluate player decisions, communication, voting patterns, and team contribution
    • Designed a typed JSON response schema for scores, grades, team contribution, evidence, and improvement suggestions, turning AI output into service content
    • Decoupled the Spring Boot backend from a FastAPI-based LLM inference server through an asynchronous analysis pipeline
    • Built an operational AI workflow with analysis-state tracking, result persistence, automated feedback comments, and an administrator retry API
    • Connected the production server and GPU inference server over a private virtual network to avoid exposing the inference server publicly
• Operations & Monetization
  • Operated the production service continuously since 2020 and improved features based on user feedback
  • Built an advertising revenue model with Google AdSense and an in-house advertisement delivery and management system
• Achievement: 2,500+ registered users, 4,400+ MAU, and break-even reached

Control Tower - Integrated Cloud Monitoring Based on Log Intelligence ^GitHub Sep 2025 - Dec 2025
Best of the Best 14th team project | Open source

• Built an investigation-oriented monitoring system that correlates asset-change history and user activity logs by actor to provide the cause and context behind anomalies
• Implemented snapshot-based asset-change tracking and 30 declarative YAML policies
  • Mapped to AWS FSBP control IDs
• Calculated user-specific anomaly scores using Mahalanobis distance from baseline and decomposed findings into contributing features for explainable analysis
• Generated validation data by configuring an AWS environment and running a three-stage attack scenario: reconnaissance, permission testing, and privilege escalation
• Achievement: Published a paper at the CISC-W'25 Conference of the Korea Institute of Information Security & Cryptology

Grape Office - Username OSINT Tool for Korean Platforms ^GitHub May 2024 - Jul 2025
Whitehat School team project | Open source

• Designed a username-based OSINT tool optimized for Korean online communities
• Defined the user-identification data schema and implemented validation logic to reduce false positives
• Achievement: Released an open-source username OSINT project specialized for Korean communities

Collectime - Group Scheduling Service ^GitHub May 2023 - Nov 2023
Software Maestro team project | Live production service

• Designed and implemented RESTful APIs with Kotlin and the Spring Framework
• Built a CI/CD pipeline and automated Docker image builds and deployments
• Integrated external calendar services and built a batch synchronization system
