He is currently running a solo studio focused on building AI infrastructure on a single RTX 3090, including local model serving and agent runtimes. Victor is also open to remote contracts and consulting in full-stack and AI engineering.", "body_md": "Hi. I'm **Victor**, a full-stack engineer based in South Korea, and this is my first post here.\n\nI've been writing for a while — just in Korean, on my own blog. I'm starting fresh in English on dev.to because most of what I'm working on now (self-hosted LLMs, full-stack infra, building products as a one-person studio) lives in conversations that happen in English, and I'd rather be *in* those conversations than next to them.\n\nSo, a short introduction.\n\nI've spent **10+ years** in this work. I started on the frontend, drifted into mobile, and eventually owned the whole stack — frontend, backend, infra, and the decisions that connect them.\n\nAlong the way I did **two CTO runs**:\n\nMore recently I spent **a year as a remote full-stack contractor for a US SaaS (Wyzly)**, shipping features and running production on Next.js and Supabase across a 14-hour time difference. Remote-across-timezones is its own skill, and that year sharpened it.\n\nI've also built **enterprise AI work** — an LLM agent system for a large organization — and earlier in my career, a stretch of **interactive and kiosk experiences for major Korean enterprises and global brands** at a creative-tech agency. Different worlds (white-glove enterprise vs. scrappy startup), and I'm glad I saw both.\n\nThese days I run a **solo studio** and spend most of my energy on two things.\n\n**Building my own products.**\n\n**Running AI infrastructure on my own hardware.**\n\nA lot of my recent work is figuring out how far you can get on a single **RTX 3090** — local model serving, an agent runtime that uses tools and cron and touches real files, KV-cache and quantization tuning, RAG pipelines. It's equal parts engineering and cost discipline, and it's the most fun I've had in years.\n\nI want to write in the open about the stuff I'm actually doing:\n\nI'm also **open to remote contracts and consulting** with global teams — full-stack and AI-engineering work, or CTO-level architecture. But I'm not here to pitch; I'm here to be useful and to learn in public. If something I write helps you, that's the win.\n\nIf any of this overlaps with what you're working on — local LLMs, indie products, remote contracting — I'd genuinely like to hear how you're approaching it. Leave a comment, and I'll see you in the next post.\n\n— Victor", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hello-dev-to-i-m-victor-10-years-full-stack-two-cto-runs-now-solo-and-writing-in", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/front-line/hello-devto-im-victor-10-years-full-stack-two-cto-runs-now-solo-and-writing-in-the-open-1bo2", "published_at": "2026-06-06 13:57:51+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-06 14:12:49.684176+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "ai-products", "ai-agents", "ai-startups", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Victor", "Wyzly", "Next.js", "Supabase", "South Korea"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hello-dev-to-i-m-victor-10-years-full-stack-two-cto-runs-now-solo-and-writing-in", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hello-dev-to-i-m-victor-10-years-full-stack-two-cto-runs-now-solo-and-writing-in.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hello-dev-to-i-m-victor-10-years-full-stack-two-cto-runs-now-solo-and-writing-in.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hello-dev-to-i-m-victor-10-years-full-stack-two-cto-runs-now-solo-and-writing-in.jsonld"}}
