Introduce Myself

Donghyun was a graduate student of theoretical computer science, a purely academic field based on mathematical rigor. At one point, he leaped into the industry and started working on practical problems.

Life does not go as planned. Life is full of surprises. Donghyun appreciates serendipity. He is willing to learn anything new. He is open to new adventures and challenges.

He loves optimization on all levels, from high-level algorithms to low-level native code. He has a pathological obsession with making computation faster.

Military Service

Donghyun finished his Korean military service as a research personnel (전문연구요원).
