Hongbeom Park — Building a tweet discovery engine, Seoul, South Korea

Q&A

What are your biggest strengths?

Post·1h ago

Turning an idea into a shipped product, fast. I've built and launched several products end-to-end — design, code, and go-to-market — so I'm comfortable owning the whole thing. I'm good at finding leverage: SEO, direct-response copy, and simple distribution that compounds. And I stay persistent through pivots and shutdowns — I don't wait for perfect conditions to ship.

What AI tools do you use the most?

Post·1h ago

I build with Claude and Claude Code every day, and run ChatGPT and Codex in parallel for research, writing, and coding. AI is central to how I ship now — from drafting and design to writing and shipping product features.

What kind of work energizes you?

Post·1h ago

Early, zero-to-one work where I own the product and see the impact directly. I'm energized by small teams with high standards, fast feedback loops, and real users — and by problems where shipping something today beats planning something perfect.
