A builderat heart

A young boy surrounded by cameras, film, and computer parts, examining a photograph under a desk lamp.

Myanmar, sometime in the late '90s.

I grew up around cameras,
photographs and computers.

My parents were photographers,
so technology was never really
a stranger in our house.

I was always into computers.

A young boy resting his chin on his hand, gazing thoughtfully at an old desktop computer.

I knew I wanted to do something with computers.

I just had absolutely no idea what.

A boy typing on a laptop in a classroom full of students coding at their own computers, a whiteboard covered in diagrams behind him.

Everyone seemed to be learning how to make computers work.

I started wondering how to make things work for people.

A boy grinning at his monitor in a computer lab, looking at a travel website design mockup titled 'A Brighter Tomorrow'.

I got hooked on the web.

Not the code.

The design.

A young man in a graduation cap and gown raising his diploma triumphantly amid falling confetti.

Two years later

Two years later, I had my diploma.

And a pretty good idea of
what I wanted to do.

Life had other plans.

A young man grinning at his laptop and monitor in a busy design studio, surrounded by UI mockups and branding boards.

19

That's when I started working as a UX/UI specialist.

No fancy roadmap. No perfectly planned career. Just a lot of figuring shit out.

A young man at his desk working on UI designs across a laptop and monitor, with a strip of comic panels showing his focused workflow above him.

Self-Learner

Most of what I know, I taught myself.

Still learning...

A dim home office with a glitching monitor, a protest visible through the window at night with a 'We want democracy' sign.

Then 2021 happened.

The place I called home became harder to stay in.

A young man looking out an airplane window at the sunset, then arriving in a new apartment overlooking the Burj Khalifa at night, working on his laptop.

2024, Dubai

New country.
New environment.
Same computer.

Same obsession with
building things.

A young man at his desk surrounded by design and creative-tool screens, a model kit and city skyline art on the shelves, a cat asleep beside his laptop.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped asking what I could do with a computer

I started asking
what I could build
with it.

To be continued...

Let's get real about what I do

You've seen the story. Here's what I bring to the table.
