At a Glance
Enterprise Project Experience
Production work across banking, media, and enterprise sectors. Client names withheld under NDA.
Banking API Gateway — High Availability & Disaster Recovery
Architected mission-critical WSO2 API Manager on Kubernetes with full HA/DR for a prominent bank. Implemented ELK-based API analytics and observability. Defined SLIs/SLOs with incident runbooks and blameless postmortem processes.
→ 99.99% uptime, near-zero RPO/RTO on failover
Media Streaming API Platform — AWS Cloud-Native
Cloud-native API gateway on AWS for a major television channel handling high-traffic live broadcast loads. Advanced ELK monitoring for real-time traffic insights and anomaly detection during peak events.
→ API latency reduced by 70%, zero downtime during peak broadcasts
SAP-to-DMS Integration
Implemented WSO2 Micro Integrator connecting 8 critical endpoints between SAP and core Distribution Management System. Automated inventory, POS data flow, and order processing workflows end-to-end.
→ Eliminated data synchronization errors across critical business processes
Multi-Cloud WSO2 API Management
Deployed WSO2 API Manager across three cloud providers simultaneously for one of Myanmar's largest conglomerates. Unified API governance, security policy enforcement, and observability across hybrid-cloud environments.
→ Governed API ecosystem handling millions of daily transactions
AWS EKS GitOps Infrastructure
Designed complete AWS EKS infrastructure with Terraform IaC. Established GitOps CI/CD pipeline with Argo CD — drift detection, automated rollbacks, and standardized deployment practices across all environments.
→ System reliability improved 40%, deployment velocity significantly increased
Kubernetes Modernization — VM to Microservices
Migrated monolithic CRM, HRM, and Loyalty systems from legacy VMs to containerized microservices. Designed cluster architecture with namespace isolation, RBAC, resource quotas, and network policies.
→ Operational overhead reduced 30%, system downtime reduced 60%
MSSQL Always On AG — High Availability
Architected Always On Availability Groups with active-active clustering and real-time replication for core banking systems. Deployed 4 production and 6 UAT HA environments with DR POC to minimize RTO/RPO.
→ Continuous availability with zero data loss on failover
Open Source Projects
Production-ready K8s deployment of WSO2 API Manager and Identity Server with Istio service mesh, mTLS, and secure API exposure.
Helm-based ELK observability stack for WSO2 APIM on Kubernetes. Full API analytics, log aggregation, and dashboards.
OAuth2/OIDC SSO integration between WSO2 Identity Server and .NET enterprise applications.
ML model tackling imbalanced datasets in financial fraud detection. SMOTE oversampling, 95% accuracy.
12 deep learning projects — CNNs, NLP, image segmentation, time series forecasting, and classification tasks.
Production-ready ELK stack via Docker Compose for enterprise log aggregation and API monitoring.
