Hi there, I’m Phyo Zaw, a seasoned full-stack developer with 6+ years of experience delivering scalable web applications. I’ve led end-to-end projects, mentored junior engineers, and collaborated across product, design, and operations to ship enterprise-grade platforms. I’m passionate about clean architecture, robust APIs, and building teams that learn and grow together. I’ve built systems across PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter) and Node.js with modern front-ends (React, Vue), deployed on cloud infra (AWS, Digital Ocean, Alibaba Cloud), and integrated real-time communication (WebRTC). I enjoy solving complex problems, designing scalable data models, and staying curious about new technologies while sharing knowledge with my teammates.
