When an In-Game Gem Turned Into a Real Payment
A developer reflection on adding Gem IAP to The Big One and seeing real App Store and Play Store purchases happen.

Hello! I'm a software engineer who loves to create and explore. I've been into programming since 2007, starting with Flash games. This early interest in tech has shaped my career.
I studied at Korea Digital Media High School and Hongik University, where I learned a lot about things like web development, mobile apps, and AI. In 2021, I started my own journey to build and run my own games and services.
Now, I work on different projects for other companies. This has allowed me to live as a digital nomad, meaning I can work from anywhere, anytime. I've worked with places like 'Naver AI Lab' and 'Insomenia'.
