Technology practitioner with over a decade of experience at the intersection of cloud computing, security, and data engineering. I specialize in transforming cutting-edge research into practical business solutions, with a focus on implementing AI/ML systems that provide genuine value while maintaining security and reliability at scale.
My journey spans from traditional operations to modern engineering-focused approaches, where I've successfully led cross-functional teams in implementing secure DevSecOps practices and architecting resilient multi-cloud solutions that balance technical innovation with business agility.

An intelligent agent that combines local LLM inference with web search capabilities to provide well-researched answers with proper citations. Optimized for Python 3.12 with TinyLlama and GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon M-series chips.
Complete observability solution for IoT devices, collecting temperature and humidity metrics, storing them in MongoDB, visualizing them in Grafana, and enabling natural language queries through an LLM (Llama) service.
I am passionate about staying at the forefront of modern technology landscapes, particularly where AI, cloud computing, and security intersect. Through my blog "Tech With Htunn", I share practical, experience-based guidance that goes beyond theoretical concepts—real approaches that have succeeded (and sometimes failed) in production environments.
My knowledge-sharing focuses on:
- Artificial Intelligence: Moving beyond the hype to implement AI solutions that deliver genuine business value
- DevSecOps: Practical implementations of security as code, not afterthought
- Data Engineering: Architecting for insight with robust data pipeline strategies
- Multi-Cloud Strategy: Achieving strategic flexibility while minimizing complexity
- Modern IAM: Identity as the new security perimeter in distributed systems
- Site Reliability: Stability through engineering principles and automation
I actively contribute to open-source projects, participate in technology communities, and regularly update my knowledge base with emerging practices and lessons learned from real-world implementations.
I'm always eager to connect with fellow technology practitioners, share experiences, and explore collaborative opportunities. Whether you're looking to discuss industry trends, seek guidance on specific technical challenges, or explore potential partnerships, feel free to reach out.
