About

Back in 2016, when I was a student at Mandalay Technological University, I built a website for a friend and fell into coding and web development. Since then, I’ve worked on software across an automotive finance platform, Kubernetes operations platform and HR, ERP, and service agency products.

My main focus these days is building end-to-end product systems for Kubernetes Upgrade Management Platform (Kubegrade). My work spans frontend interfaces, backend services, real-time streaming workflows, infrastructure analysis, automation pipelines, and AI-assisted operational tools.

I also build kgxlabs, an open-source infrastructure project where I implement backend systems from first principles, including HTTP servers, routing, TCP networking, buffered I/O, caching, and storage components.

When I’m not at the computer, I’m usually playing piano, playing video games, hanging out with my friends, or geeking out on music and music theory.

Experience

  1. 2025 — present

    At Kubegrade, I help build the next generation of AI-powered Kubernetes operations. I design scalable backend services and frontend systems that transform complex infrastructure into intelligent, automated workflows—making large-scale cluster management faster, safer, and significantly easier for platform teams.

    My work spans distributed Go microservices, LLM-powered agent systems, and high-performance React applications. I architect AI orchestration services that coordinate Kubernetes analysis, automate operational workflows, and deliver real-time insights through streaming user experiences. I also built our large-scale infrastructure visualization platform, capable of rendering hundreds of thousands of Kubernetes resources and over one million dependency relationships while maintaining an interactive user experience.

    Behind the scenes, I focus heavily on reliability and scalability—designing resilient event-driven pipelines, secure multi-tenant architectures, and fault-tolerant orchestration that continue operating gracefully under failures. By combining intelligent agents with modern cloud-native architecture, I'm helping build a platform that enables enterprises to understand, diagnose, and automate Kubernetes operations with confidence.

    As Kubernetes adoption accelerates toward 90% by 2030, I’m excited to help Kubegrade lead the next wave of infrastructure automation—empowering businesses to innovate without the headaches of manual ops. Currently working as a Senior Front End Developer at Kubegrade, where I’m contributing to a cutting-edge Cloud Native Kubernetes Cluster Upgrade Solution.
