Kang Seonghoon aka lifthrasiir and many other nicknames. (Twitter @senokay, Bluesky @mearie.org, Github @lifthrasiir, https://mearie.org/) Views my own, I'm not a laywer (nor any other occupation that might require professional qualifications), your mileage may vary, yadda yadda yadda.

Brief bio: Born in South Korea. Was a wannabe programming language researcher until I realized I'm not fit for the academia. Went to several startups with various duties. Then became a gamedev---primarily server frameworks and infrastructure but did many others too---in a big company for nearly a decade until I finally burnt out. Then worked for an ML accelerator startup doing tons of systems programming. Still doing strange things over the course: one winning IOCCC entry, a full-fledged type checker for Lua, several influential Rust libraries including Chrono, compression stuffs like Roadroller and J40 etc. Known for needlessly big walls of text.
