Hi, I'm Minseok Song! 👋

Microsoft AI MVP | Maintainer @ Azure/co-op-translator

I'm passionate about turning rough demos into impactful developer tools and building software that brings real value. My journey started at age 10 with Flash games, sparking a lifelong mission to ship products users love.
