Swum Sone

Software developer with five years of end-to-end ownership on production systems, from sitting with users to work out what they actually need, through build and test, to deployment and live support. Currently the sole developer on a pharmacy management platform in daily use at a live site. Previously founded and built a learning platform serving 5,500 students, and integrated one of the first local payment gateways in Myanmar.

Works across Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and Kotlin, with Git, automated testing and CI/CD as standard practice rather than theory. Most of my work has been automating manual business processes; applying that to CAD and manufacturing is the natural next step.
