About

I'm someone who sits comfortably between business and tech. My International Business degree taught me how markets, operations, and people work; my Computer Science and Embedded Systems background taught me to think in systems, break problems down, and let the data do the talking.

I like taking something messy — a spreadsheet, a workflow, a guest complaint — and figuring out what's really going on underneath. Whether I'm handling VIP guest lists or helping out with HR, my approach is the same: get it organized, ask a few honest questions, and make the next step clear for everyone. I'd rather take the time to understand a problem properly than rush to an answer that only looks neat.

I moved to Bangkok from Myanmar four years ago and built my studies and life here pretty much from scratch. That taught me more about adapting, staying calm, and reading a room than any class could — and it's a big part of why I work well with people from all kinds of backgrounds.

What I bring

Data & Analysis

I enjoy working with numbers — cleaning up messy data, finding the trend that actually matters, and putting it in a way that's easy for everyone to act on.

  • Data analysis
  • Excel / Sheets
  • Reporting
  • Problem-solving

Business & Process

I pay attention to how work really gets done day to day, so I can spot where things slow down or slip through — and suggest a simple fix.

  • Requirements sense
  • Operations
  • Marketing basics
  • Documentation

Technical Literacy

My CS background means tech doesn't scare me. I can talk to developers, get the constraints, and help explain things clearly to the business side.

  • Computer Science
  • Embedded systems
  • Digital platforms
  • Fast learner

People & Culture

Growing up between cultures and working in hospitality and HR taught me to really listen — to what people mean, not just what they say — and to help a team stay on the same page.

  • Cross-cultural
  • Stakeholder comms
  • Active listening
  • Collaboration

Selected work

A few things I've worked on, laid out simply — the problem, what I looked into, and what I recommended.

Process improvement · Hospitality Template

Making sure no VIP guest slips through the cracks

  1. Problem

    [VIP arrivals were flagged in a few different places, so guests occasionally reached the desk without being recognized.]

  2. What I looked at

    [Traced how a VIP flag travelled from booking → front office → housekeeping across ~2 weeks of arrivals, and where it got dropped.]

  3. Recommendation

    [One shared pre-arrival checklist, owned by the morning shift, checked at handover.]

  4. Result

    [Add a real number or a manager's words — missed-VIP incidents before vs. after, or the feedback you got.]

Process · People ops Template

Stopping good candidates from going cold

  1. Problem

    [Candidates waited days between steps, and some strong ones dropped out before we replied.]

  2. What I looked at

    [Mapped the time between each stage for the last N candidates to find the slowest handoff.]

  3. Recommendation

    [A simple shared tracker plus a 48-hour "always reply" rule.]

  4. Result

    [Add a number — average response time before/after, or the drop-off rate you cut.]

Analysis · Coursework Template

[Should Brand X enter the Thai market?] — a data-backed call

  1. Problem

    [The question the assignment (or a real situation) asked you to answer.]

  2. What I looked at

    [Your sources — market size, competitor pricing, demographics — and how you weighed them.]

  3. Recommendation

    [The call you made, and the one number or insight that decided it.]

  4. Result

    [The grade, what the analysis concluded, or what you'd track to prove it right.]
