03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECTS

CURIOUS BY NATURE.
BUILDER BY CHOICE.

I’m Madan Park, a builder based in Seoul. I’m interested in what happens when a useful idea meets a working prototype.

I built and sold EUJobs. I make tools for AI conversations and experiment with voice, accessibility, and policy technology. Hackathons are where I meet collaborators, test strange ideas, and learn by making.

The references below each have five independent publisher recognitions. Awards and editorial selections are distinct. Historical editions and source qualifications are documented in the complete research index. Artwork here is original CSS and SVG.
