Quick Introduction

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Dong-Ol Cho, and I'm a C++ developer at Baum Design Systems, an EDA company at Seoul, South Korea. I graduated from KAIST in August 2023 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering.

I'm driven by a simple principle: a deep, foundational understanding must precede any meaningful work. This blog is an extension of that belief—a space to document my journey of learning and growing as an engineer. I find fulfillment in the quiet process of improvement and the structure of a well-kept routine.

Beyond work, I find balance through swimming and running.

I am also an avid reader, drawn equally to fiction and non-fiction. Currently, I'm making my way through the works of Haruki Murakami.

Here are a few books I highly recommend:

• For General Productivity

  • Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte (Atria Books, 2022)

• For Korean Programmers

  • All of Software Project by Ikhwan Kim and Kyuhyun Jeon (Pegasus, 2010, a Korean publication)

Thanks for reading, and I hope you find something of value here :)
