I run newsrooms and build the software underneath them. Based in Bangkok, building for Myanmar's independent media landscape.
I'm a digital journalist, media founder, and systems builder based in Bangkok, Thailand. I oversee operations across community centers, lead the editorial direction of Myanmar's most trusted independent science publication, and architect full-stack management platforms.
My work sits at the intersection of storytelling and infrastructure. I build systems and teams designed to operate independently, so strong journalism and community impact can happen at scale without bottlenecking around one person.
I co-founded Fact Hub Myanmar at 17, became the youngest reporter in Burma Citizen Journalist Platform's history, and have since built two organizations from the ground up while studying journalism at Thammasat University on a TISR full scholarship and business administration at University of the People.
