About

Built for teams that need execution, ownership, and calm delivery.

I translate business requirements into secure, maintainable solutions, integrate local and international payment systems, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and support reliable production operations.

Over the last 5+ years, I have delivered business applications across Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand for fintech, automotive, healthcare, government, and telecom teams.

I take features from planning to production: shaping the interface, building secure APIs, handling data concerns, integrating local and international payments or third-party services, and supporting deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting after release.
