Hi, I’m Kevin Ji — a designer, engineer, and problem-solver with a passion for blending technology, creativity, and craftsmanship. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2024, and currently working on architectural project and server maintenance as an independent contractor
————————–
My first introduction to STEM is through PC building at middle school in 2013. After that, I manage to design and build my first 3D printer in the garage through research online and create an engineering club at my high school. Later, I manage to get my first professional experience through SEATREC. Where I worked using 3D printing knowledge to expedite prototyping for parts inside underwater robotic.
In pursue of my dream at building my own house. I self taught on architectural design in order to design my dream home. I learned how to do electrical and pluming/HVAC as well as plan drawing.
My professional experience spans diverse fields. With a strong foundation in architecture, I’ve designed multiple houses and worked as a licensed realtor, gaining firsthand insight into the intersection of design, functionality, and market needs. I also developed a custom task and management software for WinWin Company, streamlining workflows and improving operational efficiency.
I’m proficient in various software include Revit, Fusion 360, AutoCAD and 3D printing — a craft I’ve pursued since I was 14 when i started my stem interest. I’ve built custom computers, including compact small-form-factor PCs for others, building website via apache and nginx (including this one which is hosted on my own server with wordpress), designed and assembled a mechanical watch, and even engineered my own 3D printers. I also create 3D CAD solutions to tackle real-world, day-to-day problems.
Outside of work, I’m an avid photographer as well as a lifelong LEGO enthusiast. Whether I’m building precision devices, designing spaces, or solving complex engineering challenges, I’m driven by curiosity, craftsmanship, and the joy of turning ideas into reality.
