Question: Who is 董适 (Shawn Dong, Zhihu user shawndong.csproj)?

Answer:

董适 appears to be a former Beihang University (北京航空航天大学, BUAA) computer science student and ACM-ICPC competitor, known mainly for competitive programming achievements. (soft.buaa.edu.cn)

The strongest public evidence:

In 2013 ACM-ICPC Asia Regional Contest (Nanjing), a BUAA team named “Phasianus” consisting of 董适 (Computer Science), 孙萌, 赵轩昂 won a gold medal. (soft.buaa.edu.cn)
In the 2014 National Collegiate Programming Contest, the BUAA team “MiaoMiao” with members 董适、黎健成、孟春雷 won a silver medal. (soft.buaa.edu.cn)
He was also involved in BUAA’s ACM ecosystem, which has historically been one of China’s strongest ICPC programs. BUAA’s ACM teams have repeatedly reached ICPC World Finals and produced many industry engineers. (Accoding)

So his profile is roughly:

董适
│
├── University: Beihang University (北京航空航天大学)
│
├── Field:
│   Computer Science
│   Competitive Programming
│   Algorithms
│
├── Achievements:
│   ACM-ICPC Asia Regional Gold Medal (2013 Nanjing)
│   National Programming Contest Silver Medal (2014)
│
└── Known for:
    BUAA ACM team member

The interesting part historically is that this was the 2010–2014 golden era of Chinese ACM. A strong ACM medalist from a top CS school like BUAA was already in the pipeline for companies such as Google, Microsoft, Tencent, Alibaba, etc. Many ICPC medalists later became infrastructure engineers, algorithm engineers, or researchers. (Accoding)

Given your previous question about Harbin University ACM news: the connection is that 董适 was the Beihang student invited to summarize the competition after the Harbin Institute of Technology / Harbin University ACM event. He represented the “elite ACM contestant” side of that era.

I could not find a reliable public biography after his ACM years (current company, PhD, etc.) from indexed sources, so his post-university career is unclear. The public footprint is mainly his ACM achievements.
