Htet Oo Wai Yan
Software Engineer at X, Inc.
I build web platforms, AI systems, and the infrastructure behind them, and I keep them simple.
I build web platforms, AI systems, and the infrastructure behind them. I prefer simple, reliable designs, and I would rather remove code than add it.
Principles
-
Simplicity
Delete what you can
I rebuilt the UI of the legacy EXPA.AI platform and removed 18,000 lines of code along the way.
-
Reliability
Reliability is part of the product
I took over a critical enterprise insurance platform and kept it at 100% SLA compliance.
-
Architecture
Structure that keeps delivery steady
For EXPA.AI 3.0 I set up the monorepo and core infrastructure, and built the first AI agent and its harness.
