SuhJae - Engineer of Morning Calm

I began my programming journey in 2nd grade with Scratch, where I had a blast creating mini-games, animations, and sometimes funny or completely useless programs. By 6th grade, I moved on to more advanced languages like Python—driven by the desire to build my own Discord bot. Whenever I wanted to figure out how to do something, YouTube became my go-to source—not for copying code, but for learning the tools and concepts I needed to bring my ideas to life. This cycle of ambitious project ideas followed by deep dives into tutorials shaped how I taught myself to program.

Because I refuse to believe tradition belongs in museums. The same design logic that shaped Joseon palaces can inform robotics. The same elegance in Hanbok lines can be translated into interface layout and product flow. I don't draw a line between culture and code—I connect them. Technology becomes more human when it remembers where we come from.

BlueScript—no question. It's personal, it's scientific, and it's helping people. I built it out of necessity as someone who still navigates dyslexia. What started as a solo project grew into an open-source platform, now tested in real institutions and translated into multiple languages. It's proof that software can do more than entertain—it can empower.

I think like a system, but I start like a storyteller. First, I figure out the "why"—what problem are we really solving and who's going to use it? Then I move into architecture, design, and iteration. Whether I'm building a robot for VEX or designing cognitive training tools, I always balance elegance with performance. And if it doesn't serve people—it's not worth building.

It's a nod to my roots—South Korea, the Land of Morning Calm—and a statement of intent. I engineer quietly, but my work speaks loudly. I'm not chasing noise or hype. I build lasting, thoughtful systems that solve real problems. That's my calm. That's my edge.
