Full-Stack Developer & DevOps Lead

15+ years building full-stack, API-driven, and infrastructure-ready web systems.

I’m Chit Ko Ko, a Yangon-based full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience delivering enterprise-grade PHP applications, custom APIs (Google, PayPal, Shopee, Facebook, Kayako, Proxmox), and local payment integrations (2C2P, CB Bank, Dinger). I specialize in modern frameworks (Laravel, CI, Slim), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab), caching with Redis, and production-ready server management across AWS, DigitalOcean, and leading CDN platforms (Cloudflare, AlibabaCloud, FunCDN, GoEdge). I bring deep experience in database systems (MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB) and building scalable eCommerce, CMS, and client-server applications with a strong focus on performance and reliability.
