Hello there! Name's Swam Yi Phyo, a full-stack developer who genuinely likes building things I can be proud of. I care about clean code, minimalist UI, and shipping stuff that actually works in production, not just demos. Most of my time goes into figuring out the right way to solve a problem before writing a single line, then building it out so it's fast, scalable, and clean across every device.
On the frontend I lean on React and Next.js with TypeScript, and on the backend I work mostly with FastAPI and Node.js. I also work a lot with agentic coding these days, wiring up AI tools and harnesses to move faster and offload the grunt work while I focus on architecture and the hard decisions. Having built real enterprise systems and built a lot alongside AI, big and complex is right where I want to be.
Outside of code, I'm into golf to keep my head clear, and I'm a big Naruto guy. Chasing progress like it's the only option, so let's connect and build something worth building.
Led the V3 migration of zcrLog, an enterprise SIEM and log management platform, overhauling the frontend architecture to improve performance, scalability, and user experience across multiple client environments. Architected multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure with tenant-level data isolation, a license subscription system with plan-based feature gating, EPS rate throttling, payment management from activation to expiry, and optimized ClickHouse and PostgreSQL queries to handle high-volume log ingestion. Gained hands-on experience deploying production infrastructure across on-premise data centers with Cloudflare, Nginx, and VMware.
Completed an intensive, project-based program covering modern full-stack engineering from React + TypeScript to Node.js/Express APIs. Built a production-ready RESTful backend with PostgreSQL and Prisma, including strict request validation, layered JWT/refresh authentication, RBAC, and secure file uploads with Multer. Implemented queue workers with Redis for background jobs like image processing and cache invalidation. On the frontend, delivered data-driven UX using React Router loaders/actions, TanStack Query patterns, and persistent global state with Zustand while supporting optimistic updates, infinite scrolling, and protected routes.
Developed practical skills using generative AI tools to boost productivity by generating ideas, creating content, and accelerating daily tasks. Mastered writing clear, effective prompts to obtain precise AI outputs for summarizing, tagline creation, and problem-solving. Applied responsible AI practices by identifying biases and minimizing potential harm. Learned strategies to stay informed in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Gained deep expertise in modern React patterns and advanced Next.js 15 features, including server-side rendering, SEO optimization, and performance tuning. Built a production-grade Q&A platform integrating Groq AI for intelligent assistance. Designed flexible, scalable MongoDB schemas and implemented complex queries with advanced Mongoose aggregation pipelines. Developed a custom recommendation engine from scratch, leveraging user activities. Strengthened skills in authentication, secure route handling, and building elegant, responsive UIs using shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS.
Focued on mastering core JavaScript concepts such as variables, arrays, objects, loops, functions, and manipulating the DOM. Enhanced proficiency in Object-Oriented and Functional Programming, while sharpening problem-solving and algorithmic thinking. Gained hands-on experience with browser storage and integrating external data using APIs. Focused on building dynamic, responsive web applications through real-world use cases and coding best practices.
