Protecting Yangon with Protect Yangon

Personally, the experience from this whole project is very useful because I have improved not only my technical skills, but also my coordination, creative thinking, problem solving and networking skills. I was able to experience multiple roles of the software development process, and, most importantly, I have found out for myself that software engineering is the field I would like to go into deeper. I intend to gain more experience, knowledge and connections before I go back to my country, and this summer experience has just allowed me to achieve that intention a little closer.

City Break: Your Easy Guide

I Co-Founded City Break because I saw an opportunity to create cutting edge technology that is currently not present in the market, as well as to make a name for myself in the tech industry. My role since I Co-Founded City Break was that of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

As the CTO I am in charge of managing the development and future deployment of the City Break app as well as managing other things like systems architecture, cyber security, and research and development. My role as CTO has allowed me to grow beyond my own expectations and to pick up new skills in order to solidify the backbone of our startup.
