I build things for people the systems left out.
Products · Education · Access
I trained as an architect. Then a coup closed Myanmar's universities, and I spent five years helping build one they couldn't close.
Four things
I helped build
-
SUM Learn springuniversitymm.com ↗
A university with no campus
The coup closed Myanmar's universities. We opened one that had none to close, fully virtual. I lead academic management and the digital infrastructure under it.
-
eduLamp Box edulamp.net ↗
Learning where there is no internet
Some learners had no connectivity, no electricity and no phone signal. So we built a box: a whole classroom over local Wi-Fi, small enough to carry in on foot, needing no app on the learner's own device.
-
Medical education platform lumnhs.ac ↗
A medical school that grades competence
I build platforms and digital infrastructure for education institutions. This one is a medical university, teaching and assessing a curriculum where a conventional campus system cannot run. I designed and delivered its learning platform and its admissions portal, from architecture through to launch.
-
Vincentt vincentt.studio ↗
Augmented reality, described in words
You say what you want to see and publish it to the web. No 3D modelling, no game engine, no code, and nothing for the viewer to install. Four of us founded it together, out of the team we had been building AR in before. I run the business operations.
How I got
from there to here
Tap a year to open it.

2015
Started B.Arch at YTU
Four and a half years at Yangon Technological University.
I learned to draw buildings, and that planning is mostly about comfort: whether a space works for the people who have to live in it.
-
2016 to 2018
Studio work, internships, extracurricular activities
Saying yes to everything, alongside the degree.
Won the Yetagun Youth Innovation Program in 2017. Represented Myanmar at the AIT-Tiger Leong camp in Thailand and took the People's Choice Award at YTU. Model UN delegate. Intern at DeArch, and a low-cost housing plan for North Oakkalapa with Women for the World. Joined U-Report Myanmar.

2019
U-Report Myanmar · UNICEF
First work at national scale.
Ran youth engagement on U-Report, a youth-voice platform with UNICEF, carrying dialogue between young people and Members of Parliament. Documented the heritage site at Thar Mine Kham in Southern Shan State, and surveyed Theingyi Market for preservation.

AAS President · Phandeeyar · AGC Asia Pacific
Entry into digital learning and digital products.
Led the Association of Architecture Students at YTU as President. Joined Phandeeyar as Programme Officer for eLearning, producing self-paced courses, a chatbot-assisted support system, and virtual training delivered into Fiji, Samoa and Papua New Guinea with GSMA and AusAid. Took Second Runner-up in the Futuristic Design Competition: The Private House, and researched green buildings at AGC.

If the internet cannot reach a village, the classroom travels.
