Hong is a Software Development Engineer working on the managed Flink platform at AWS. The team builds and supports the infrastructure that enables customers to spin up long running Flink jobs without worrying about maintaining the underlying Flink cluster. Recently, he has been spending time deep diving on and resolving common issues faced by customers on the platform. In his free time, he enjoys nerding out on streaming processing frameworks (Apache Flink, Kafka Streams, Apache Beam, etc.) to understand why they were designed that way.
