Resume

I volunteered as a teaching assistant for Be Connected at Jesuit Social Services. This program helps people improve job-related skills. I support the instructor in teaching digital literacy.

Provided daily cybersecurity and technical support to employees, troubleshooting hardware, software, and network security issues, ensuring secure system operations. Installed, configured, and maintained security patches and updates for software applications, ensuring compliance with licensing and cybersecurity best practices.

Implemented and managed data backup and recovery solutions to mitigate the risk of data breaches and loss. Conducted cybersecurity awareness training for employees, educating them on secure system usage, phishing prevention, and data protection strategies.

Maintained comprehensive security documentation, including system configurations, incident reports, and vulnerability assessments for management review. Led bi-monthly digital security training sessions for the New Myanmar Foundation, training 25+ community leaders and activists per session on cybersecurity, secure communication, and digital literacy best practices.

Designed and delivered cybersecurity education programs for democratic activists, NGOs, and community organisations, enhancing their ability to operate securely in high-risk environments.

As a founding member and business development executive, I am responsible for the growth of our business. I also have the responsibility of engaging with professionals in the education sector. The Green Hackers Institute started to help bridge the gap between undergraduate students and technological and computer universities in Myanmar with the funds of the sole donor. We helped over 500 students to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, in the COVID pandemic and coup that happened in 2021, we decided to stop.

Manage and oversee the IT infrastructure and systems of offices in Yangon, Bagan, Meik Htilar, and Kanpetlet.
Collaborate closely with the managing director and department heads to develop effective IT strategies that align with organisational goals and enhance operational efficiency.

Design and implement robust IT solutions, fostering strategic relationships with vendors, service providers, and stakeholders to ensure reliable and secure technology systems.

Monitor industry trends, identify emerging technologies, and analyse competitor IT capabilities to keep the organisation competitive and secure. Develop strategic IT roadmaps based on evolving technological advancements.

Provide technical support and guidance to customers using cyber café facilities, addressing inquiries related to computer usage, software applications, and internet connectivitiy.

Perform regular maintenance checks on computers, peripherals, and networking devices, ensuring they are in optimal working condition. Tourbleshoot and repair hardware issues promptly.

Keep track of hardware and software inventory, making procurement recommendations for replacements or upgrades when necessary.

Perform regular checks, maintenance, and repairs on factory computers, machinery interfaces and other technical equipment. Install, configure, and update sofware applications critical to factory operations.

Maintain an inventory of IT-related equipment, including computers, printers, barcode scanners, and other speciallized machinery interfaces. Coordinate repairs, replacements, and upgrade as necessary.

Manage and maintain the factory’s local area network (LAN), ensuring connectivity across production machinery, inventory systems, and security protocols.

I studied for a Bachelor of Physics at Yangon University, Myanmar, from 2002 to 2005. But honestly, I don’t really remember much about physics — it’s been so long that I’m starting to wonder if I studied it in a parallel universe. 

I do remember the big names, though — legends like Einstein, Paul Dirac, Erwin Schrödinger, and Niels Bohr. At least their names stuck, even if the equations didn’t! 😄
