Trustin is a lead developer for the Apache SEDA framework, and he is
working on MINA (Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications)
to improve SEDA framework from ground-up.
</p>
<p>
Trustin was born in 1980. He started programming with built-in BASIC
interpreter in MSX mini computer when he was 8 years old. He enjoyed
game programming and problem solving using assembly language, C, and
C++. Finally, he wins bronze medal at Korea information olympiad in
1998.
</p>
<p>
He worked for several companies as a part time worker who
writes high-performance network server applications and a few web
applications after he started to major computer science in Yonsei
university in South Korea. After graduation, he is working for Arreo

Trustin was getting bored implementing tedious legacy protocols. He
thought he could save himself by creating a generic framework for
network applications. The name of the framework was 'Netty' and
it has been improved for a couple of years until java.nio package is
introduced.
</p>
<p>
NIO changed lots of things, and it impacted Netty. New version of
Netty was named to Netty2 and released as open source. It gave Trustin
the experience of open source community and made him fascinated by it.
</p>
<p>
Enrique Rodriguez was one of the users of Netty2, and he brought great
fortune to Trustin. He metioned Netty2 when he approached Alex
Karasulu, who was the lead for the Apache Directory project. Alex was
developing SEDA framework as a network application framework at that
time. He proposed Trustin to get the power of both together and make
the best network application framework available, and the work is in
progress actively.
