About
Hi, I'm Jayden, and I write DailySay.
I'm an IT project manager working in Yongsan, Seoul. My job is organising schedules, finding problems and aligning different people's views into one result. What I learn at work, and what happens outside it, ends up here.
About me
- Passed the PMP in July 2026. The seven weeks it took, from the application to PDUs afterwards, are in the PMP Roadmap.
- On the PMI Korea Chapter's education committee since October. How that happened
- A Seoul Scholarship Foundation (now Seoul Future Foundation) scholar at university. In September 2026 I went back as a mentor in its Volun-Career programme.
- I build services with AI coding tools. See “Things I built” below.
- At lunch I sometimes cycle to the Han River; some evenings I run on Namsan.
What you'll find here
- PMP & Project Management: application and audit, study methods, exam day, PDUs afterwards
- Working and Building with AI: Claude Code vs Cursor, how to check code an AI wrote
- Career & Onboarding: the onboarding series, how work changed after the certificate
- Travel: Europe 2023, Jakarta and Bali 2024, Mexico 2025
- Where I Eat: from Yongsan lunches to old market spots
- Seoul Days & Running: lunch breaks by the river, night runs on Namsan, running gear
Things I built
- First Run: an onboarding RPG that turns a new hire's first weeks into quests. Play it in the browser, no sign-up.
- AttractiveWebAI: paste a URL and get the site's structure as an IA spreadsheet.
- Which Chiikawa character are you? and the Chiikawa PM-type quiz: three-minute personality quizzes.
How I write here
- I write about what I've lived through: not only what went well, but the plans that fell apart and the choices I regret. Why is in the first post, My Way of Logging Life.
- I write in Korean and publish in English, Spanish and Japanese too.
- I keep editing posts after they go up. Each one shows its version and change history.
- Products in the shopping guides are from my own online store, so those pages contain advertising.
