Software engineer with a medical degree.
Trained in medicine in Yangon, Myanmar, then worked as a software engineer at MiTAC in Taipei, building monitoring dashboards in Java, JavaScript and React.
Now, November 2026: finishing a Master of Computing (Artificial Intelligence) at the Australian National University in Canberra.
Looking for graduate roles in software, data or AI, including health technology.
Full working rights in Australia. Available immediately for full-time work.
Live screens for watching factory machines as they run. I built weaving and dyeing dashboards for a textile manufacturer, refreshing every 3 seconds, and cut about 12,000 lines of repeated AngularJS code so new machines no longer needed new pages. I also worked on a bridge-health system that scores bridges from seismic sensor data, building its monitoring dashboard.
Driver licences and other credentials are issued state by state, so interstate police or a car rental company can struggle to check one. Our Android app lets people add, share and verify them across state borders; I set up its sign-in and database on Firebase, wrote the login code, and tested it with JUnit and Espresso.
A playable computer version of Copenhagen Roll & Write, a dice and tile-placement board game. I wrote the game logic that checks each move against the rulebook, connected it to the JavaFX screen, and tested legal moves and scoring with JUnit.
In this University of New South Wales research competition on AI misuse, teams built bots to sway simulated voters on a fake social network. I built most of the code that matched each reply to the worry a voter's own post raised. The bot climbed from 25th to 10th in about two days, then slipped back to finish 14th among 90 teams. The lesson I took: measure what works before changing more.
