Building AI systems by day.
Publishing research by night.

I'm an AI/ML Engineer at Six Atomic (4+ years) and a PhD researcher at KMITL, where I'm investigating Knowledge Distillation and Model Compression for Computer Vision — working toward a custom lightweight model that achieves significant size reduction without sacrificing accuracy.

My background sits at a rare intersection: I build production systems at work — pattern grading algorithms that cut manual workload by 90%, AWS-deployed pipelines, RAG + LLM applications — while simultaneously publishing IEEE research on deep learning for agricultural AI. That dual perspective makes me a different kind of engineer: one who understands both what research claims and what production demands.

I've also built an end-to-end data engineering pipeline covering the full stack — DLT, Airflow, dbt, Terraform, Redshift — because AI engineers who understand data pipelines build better systems. Outside work I speak at Women in AI Myanmar and mentor at GDG Yangon's ML Paper Reading Club — because the best way to understand something deeply is to teach it.
