Summary
Sunghwan Cho is a third-year Computer Engineering student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison with eight years of practical experience spanning military network engineering, technology consulting, and full-stack development. As a sergeant in the Republic of Korea Army he maintained secure brigade-level communications and applied geospatial analysis to optimize tactical relays, skills he now brings to digital transformation work like AI-OCR and blockchain pilots at Deloitte. He currently teaches SystemVerilog to 100+ students as an undergraduate TA while building products and operations for LIKELION US, demonstrating an ability to shift between hands-on coding, pedagogy, and organizational leadership. Raised across South Korea, Singapore, and Australia, his cross-cultural background fuels a curiosity-driven approach—he intentionally treats apparent inefficiencies as sources of creative insight and “personal database” growth. Comfortable at the intersection of security, systems, and product, he frames engineering problems with both tactical rigor and a broad, interdisciplinary perspective. He is motivated to bridge disciplines and cultures to deliver resilient, interpretable solutions.
