About Me
Hello! I'm Htun, a full-stack developer with over 3 years of experience. My journey began in the vibrant tech scene of Yangon, where I started my career fixing PHP bugs. Today, I build scalable web applications and systems, from payment integrations to real-time chat platforms.
Throughout my time at PanaceaSoft, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, including classified platforms and client re-skins. While I work across the full stack, I have a strong interest in backend development—designing robust architectures, optimizing databases, and improving API performance.
When I'm not working with Docker containers at UMG Myanmar, you can find me:
• 🌱 Learning: Expanding my DevOps skills, exploring Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and improving backend scalability techniques.
• 🧩 Building: Experimenting with Next.js for frontend performance while focusing on backend optimizations and system design.
• 🏔️ Exploring: Traveling to remote areas to exchange tech knowledge and learn from local communities.
• 📚 Reading: Currently alternating between 'Clean Code' and backend architecture books.
I believe in writing maintainable, efficient backend code while ensuring smooth frontend experiences. I take pride in mentoring junior developers, helping them strengthen their understanding of backend logic, database management, and API development.
