I’ve been wanting to create a map that I can share with friends when they ask for recommendations. As I was curating this list, I realized that the places I like aren’t necessarily the ones with the best food or drinks. I like small businesses, spots that have local regulars and where I had good memories with people. These places are personal to me and you can read more about each in the notes I added on the map https://sungatae.

Freelancing
As part of my 11 projects in 11 months initiative, I worked on a freelance project for the past couple of weeks. I initially declined because freelancing defeated the purpose of this initiative, which was to work on my own projects, but I ended up taking the project for a couple of reasons: The client validated the idea. It was addressing a problem his team was having at work and he also found out other companies were experiencing this problem.

11 Projects in 11 Months
My goal of the year is to build a new project every month. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for many years after watching Pieter Levels’ talk, but I didn’t dare to try it while working full-time. Now that AI has made it much easier to write code, I decided there’s no better time than now to start. I’m going to publish the projects here no matter how good or bad they turn out, so stay tuned!
DJing
Ever since my college roommates took me to my first EDM show in sophomore year, I’ve been a fan of electronic music and have gone to many shows and festivals where I danced my ass off and made great memories with friends. I grew to admire DJs who play just the right song at the right time to keep the energy pumping and take the crowd on a journey.
I made a mobile app. Meet Billy!
Let me introduce you to Billy! Billy is an app that helps you split bills with your friends. Once you upload a photo of your receipt, Billy scans it and gives you a simple UI to assign items to each person. At the end, it provides a clear breakdown for each person that you can easily share with your friends. The app is only available on the App Store for now, but I plan to release it for Android soon.
