Summary

Over twelve years of overseas projects and international business trips have provided me with a wealth of experience and learning opportunities. The new environments required quick adaptability, and I felt a sense of accomplishment in representing the company, installing the product, fixing issues, and training on the product. The sense of accomplishment I felt when we built the spiral pipe factory, installed the machinery, set up the production line, produced our first product, loaded it into a container, and exported it is still unforgettable. When the G7 Grab dredger ran aground in the sea off Jeju Island in Korea, I had to return to Korea to restore it. I was sad to leave the spiral pipe factory, but when the engine room, DC machine room, and cabin were all restored to their original state and commissioned for the first time, I felt that I had leveled up as a man. Having successfully installed and commissioned machinery in the shipbuilding industry, such as Automatic Filtration Systems, Fuel Filtration, Oily Water Separators, and Ballast Water Treatment Systems, I have gained the trust of our customers. Based on this, I founded a company with my supervisor, successfully completed the SK Innovation S-Project, and secured distributor agreements with Deckma Hamburg and Green Instruments, which laid the foundation for the company. The thirst for learning English and children's education led me to move to Canada, where I am currently studying Electrical Engineering Technician at Niagara College. My course will end in April 2024. Learning new things and taking on challenges can be scary, but there's always the joy of overcoming and accomplishing them.
