…from the first line of code to the cloud bill.
Independent software engineer, DevOps and infrastructure consultant for businesses in Myanmar, Thailand and beyond. I write the software, build the pipeline that ships it, and run the cloud underneath, so one person answers for the whole path from commit to customer.

numbers from production
Taken over from an outsourced vendor after a security incident. Backend, iOS and Android apps, admin, creator portal and website, rebuilt and shipped on a regular release cadence.
Read the case study →A phased migration where every step could be rolled back on its own. Nothing went dark, nothing was rewritten for the sake of it.
How it was done →Two regional gateways plus Apple and Google in-app billing, reconciled into a single ledger. Prices are decided on the server, so the app can't change what a customer is charged.
Read the case study →A self-hosted tracker where AI agents tick a done-when checklist, and the server refuses to move unfinished work to review. Go, SvelteKit, PostgreSQL and MCP.
Read the case study →enterprise merchants on the payment gateway I designed and ran at Wave Money, Myanmar's largest mobile money service (2018–2022).
AI made software easy to start. An app takes a weekend; a website, an afternoon. That's real, and it's good.
But on day one, a weekend app and an engineered system look the same. The difference shows up on launch day, on the first failed payment, and when the cloud bill arrives.
I use AI every day. It makes me fast. Fourteen years of engineering is what makes it safe.
| Made in a weekend | Engineered | |
|---|---|---|
| Launch day | Works in the demo | Works with real users, at real load |
| Payments | Charged twice, sometimes | Every transaction reconciled to one ledger |
| Releases | Deploy and hope | Tested, canaried, rolled back automatically |
| A bad day | One server, no backup | Backups tested by restoring them |
| Security | Keys in the code | Secrets locked away, access logged |
| Cloud bill | A surprise every month | Planned, and drawn to scale |
anyone can draw a house. few can make it stand.
Most teams hire three people for this.

Backends, APIs and mobile apps that are tested, typed and documented. Payments and ledgers, sign-in, admin tools and the integrations your business runs on.
Pipelines with quality gates, zero-downtime deploys and automatic rollback, so your team can release on a Tuesday afternoon without holding its breath.
Cloud set up to stay up and to cost what it should: networking, databases, backups, monitoring, security, and a monthly bill you can explain to your accountant.

You tell me what hurts. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right person.
I read the code, the pipeline and the cloud account, and write down what I find.
Scope, milestones and price in writing. You know the number before I start.
Working software every week, in accounts you own, with nothing hidden.
I stay on to keep it running, keep adding features and keep the bill sensible.
