Available to start a new project now.

Built exactly as you planned, deployed and run by one developer.

I'm SeungHyun Kim, a full-stack developer in Korea. I build web and mobile products end to end: screens, server, database, and deployment. Every screen you see here is a demo you can click through.

What I can build for you

Each area links to real projects I have done.

What clients said

Reviews clients left themselves after Wishket contracts ended, translated from Korean.

  • “Implemented every feature they had doubted was even possible, exactly as planned”

    business automation software

  • “Even as an individual developer, understood the goal very well and matched the project brief exactly”

    Naver DataLab auto-collection tool

  • “Fast communication, a real grasp of the project, truly the best service mindset”

    responsive website for a financial service

Support during the post-delivery warranty period was rated separately too: 5.00.

The largest and longest engagements come first.

See all work
  • Built a KRW 45M B2B SaaS solo: 31 data models, 236 APIs (147 GraphQL, 89 REST), 80+ screens, 73 test files
  • Kept supporting the same service after delivery on a monthly maintenance contract: 385 hours over 6 months (2026.03 ~ 2026.08)
  • Top committer on the frontend team of a Kubernetes MLOps admin console (159 screens): 487 of 1,656 commits (fixed-term senior role, 122 days)
  • Four contracts with the same client since 2024 (three repeat contracts after the first)
  • Built and ran a community of 1,000 concurrent users by myself for 11 years

How we would work together

One person owns it all, from planning to deployment and after delivery.

  1. 1

    Scope

    I read your brief and plan, then agree with you on what to build first. Clients have said this is how their plans got built exactly as intended.

  2. 2

    One developer, start to finish

    I design and build the screens, server, and database myself. Requirements don't get lost between people, and I write code the next person can read.

  3. 3

    Handed over deployed

    I hand over with the servers set up and deploys automated. My largest SaaS project I took from design through deployment and operations on my own.

  4. 4

    After delivery

    I kept responding through the warranty period and earned a separate rating of 5.00 for it. The largest project continued as a monthly maintenance contract.

Demos you can click through

Try the kinds of screens clients most often ask for: admin consoles, online stores, booking pages. Some are samples built for fictional companies, others are product demos delivered to clients.

I have taken a SaaS from design to operations on my own. Small or large, either is fine.

Before you hire me

How do you invoice?

I issue invoices in USD.

We are in a different time zone. How does that work?

I am based in Korea (KST, UTC+9). I adjust my working hours so part of the day overlaps with yours.

How do we communicate?

In English, in writing: email, Slack, or any chat tool you use. I don't take voice or video calls.

What kinds of contracts do you take?

Both fixed-scope projects with defined deliverables and fixed-term engagements where I join your team for a set period. One fixed-term engagement was remote four days a week.

Can you take over code someone else wrote?

Yes. I have added features to live PHP services and migrated JavaScript and Express services to TypeScript, Next.js, and Nest.js.

Do you support the product after delivery?

I respond through the warranty period, and monthly maintenance contracts are available if you want one. My largest project turned into a maintenance contract after delivery, and I still run it today.
