Cho Eun-hye (born August 22nd, 1984) is a member of the Chamber of Representatives and current Chair of the Malgravean Technology Party.

Early life and career

Cho Eun-hye was born in Aurora on the 22nd of August, 1984. In her early childhood years, Eun-Hye was heavily involved with the Gabriel Narutowicz Pioneers and the Free Democratic Youth (Malgrave) as both organisations worked with integrating the national youth organisation that were part of the Socialist Republic of Malgrave and the National Workers' Republic of Malgrave.

Within the regional branch of the Pioneers and FDY, an attempt was made to use technology as a bridging exercise between newly formed branches of the Pioneers and FDY in territories that were once part of the Socialist Republic and National Workers' Republic. It was these bridging exercises that initially developed Eun-hye's appreciation for technology, and she gained some notoriety for her work developing and improving internal computer systems within the Free Democratic Youth.

In 2002, Eun-hye enrolled as a student at Niels Bohr Academy in Pakosc where she majored in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. While studying Eun-hye received further national attention when she competed in the Conference for the Masters of Tomorrow showcasing improvements to the Integrated Works Computer Network (IWCN) and a theoretical highspeed train signalling system which would eventually be picked up by MalTra.

MalTra

After finishing her studies, Eun-hye was offered a position with MalTra as a member of their R&D department. Eun-hye was responsible for cooperating with MalTec on improvements to the technology employed within the railway network, an important undertaking considering the development of the highspeed maglev network required the creation of a whole new model of signalling.

While at MalTra, Eun-hye also worked with Lotte Hansen on modernising the passenger interface used by metro networks in the country. Eun-hyes's work would contribute to the creation of the Pesaro virtual assistant.

Between 2010 and 2014 Eun-hye was tasked with working on a series of improvements to defend MalTra from infrastructure from cyberattacks, with Eun-hye organising a team to defend against attacks organised by a team of ethical hackers working on behalf of MalTra as security consultants. Eun-hye also contributed to some of the advanced signalling that would be used for the highspeed tunnel network connecting Kouralia and the Research Colony

In 2014 Eun-hye left MalTra to contest the 2014 Malgravean General Election for the Technology Party.

Chair of the Technology Party

Even before joining the Technology Party as an official candidate, Eun-hye and her work were respected within the party, especially, as it had been utilised to improve civilian computer systems and engineering systems. It therefore was no surprise when Eun-hye was appointed to a senior position within the party apparatus shortly after her election in the 2014 general election, with the new politician soon being expected to hold Claudia Donovan to account.

Eun-hye gained recognition for the technical nature of her questions in the Chamber of Representatives, and the engaging debate that often followed between herself and Claudia Donovan. It was these debates that were often used as a reason for the country to become more technocratic in nature, although, a few commentators did complain that the overly-technical nature of the debate had a tendency to make the average person feel less engaged in the political process.

In response, Eun-hye worked with advisors within and outside the party to help put her works into more accessible language while retaining the main substance of her questions. While a controversial move within the party, the actions of Eun-hye were praised by the wider public and shown up as an example of the party actually listening to the people and attempting to win their votes instead of simply appealing to intellectuals.

After Helen Magnus announced she was stepping down from politics in 2020, a few names were considered to replace her, however, after a short internal contest Eun-hye emerged as the sole replacement candidate. Upon her election to the role, Eun-hye implemented a review of the party policies which discovered that a majority were either unknown or misunderstood by the wider public and implemented a series of reforms to fix this.

Eun-hye successfully argued that the Technology Party had enjoyed great success in the 50s when they were able to link increases in production from improved pay and infrastructure modernisation to wholesale life improvements, with the end of rationing being a major reason for the popularity of the party. Afterwards, the propaganda Technology Party switched from technical readouts of systems like the the Integrated Works Computer Network (IWCN) and how new technology could be used to remove inefficiencies and grant workers more time off work.

Personal life

Eun-hye maintains an active MalTube and MalTok channel in which she talks about current tech news and maintains engagement with constituents. It has been popular over the years and is partially credited with the revival of the Technology Party.

Family and romance

Eun-hye is regularly seen with her parents while attending her local ASG centre. She is married and has one daughter who is currently attending a primary school in Aurora.

Religion

Eun-hye is an active member of the Ancestral Study Group and a Serionite
