Platform Engineer

Ms. Ha-Young, nice to meet you. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Hello. I'm Ha Young Kim, SVMP Platform Development Team. I joined Civentage as my first company in June 21, and I'm working with good colleagues to share new technologies and improve development processes for continuous growth.
I decided to become a developer because I came across a post by a guy who detailed his journey to become a developer and how he became a developer, and I thought, โ€œI want to be like him,โ€ so I started developing.
When I was studying development, I was fascinated by how a few lines of code I typed could change the outcome and make it work, and I realized that I wanted to create a service that would provide convenience to users.

What Role Do You Play?

I'm responsible for the overall development of the SVMP platform, collecting, validating, and displaying data, and I'm working on a service called Port Insight, which monitors the overall situation of ports.
Port Insight is a service that allows you to view real-time congestion levels at ports and provide statistical analysis to help you plan your vessels efficiently, respond to events in a timely manner, and reduce unnecessary logistics costs.

What Made You Decide to Join SeaVantage

I knew I wanted to develop a service that would provide convenience to users. I was impressed by the fact that Seventy has collected global ship data and developed its own platform to improve the limited and inefficient part of global supply chain information. I was interested in joining the team because it would give me experience in processing large amounts of data, and most importantly, it would give me the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the company in a startup with high growth potential.

Do You have a Memorable Work Experience Related to Platform Development?

I remember converting a large data processing project used by the Port Insight service to the spring batch framework.
Traditionally, large data processing tasks have been accomplished through scheduling, where data processing logic is executed repeatedly at regular intervals, but the service is not scalable and the environment of the data processing process has to be managed inside the code.
Moving to spring batch has made us more scalable, flexible, and allows us to retry, recover, and monitor using jenkins as our spring batch management tool.
It was my first time doing something like this, so it was challenging, but I had good coworkers and I was happy with the results.

I'd Also Love to Hear About Your Future Plans.

We want to build a better service and increase traffic to our service, because we want to handle a lot of traffic, and more traffic means we're growing.
And I want to make sure that we have a good development and team culture alongside the growth of the service, and I think that focusing on the growth of the service often puts the so-called โ€œbetter wayโ€ of doing things on the back burner, and I'm going to keep trying to do a good mix of both.

Finally, if Anyone is Interested in Joining Our team, Please Tell Them About Us and What We do!

First, thank you for your interest in a career at SeaVantage
I'm not the only one, and we have a great team, so it's fun to grow and interact with us! If you're new to maritime logistics supply chain management at Seventy, I hope you'll see the opportunity to join a startup with high growth potential and contribute to the company's growth as I did.
