About Me

Hi! I’m Ki Chun, a bachelor student at Aalto University, specializing in Digital Systems and Design with a focus on embedded systems, cyptography, and information security. I’m passionate about designing secure systems and using CI/CD pipelines to ensure efficient, iterative development processes.

A little bit of a toxic overachiever, I tend to take on more than double the required course load, keeping myself constantly busy at the edge of burnout. While this intense drive often pushes me to grow and improve, it’s always a challenge for me to find the delicate balance between learning, writing, getting assignments done, job hunting, working on personal projects – and not actually burn myself out.

Alongside my studies, I’ve been an active member of various committees within the Automation Guild, where I collaborate with like-minded individuals and help organize events that fostered learning and community engagement. I also enjoy traveling, which allows me to spend quality time with family, and playing guitar – if noodling blues and funk counts.
