My Story
How I got here
Hey, I'm Htoo. You can also call me Franzy. I came to Singapore from Myanmar with a curiosity for how things work and a polytechnic robotics gold medal that proved I could build them.
Over 11 years, I've gone from writing Java servlets and building learning platforms to leading distributed engineering teams across Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Along the way, I built an applicant tracking system with Elasticsearch at its core, grew from senior engineer to engineering manager within the same company, and shipped enterprise SaaS products used by thousands.
Today at Manabie International, I'm doing what excites me most: integrating AI tools directly into how my team builds software, from sprint rituals to code reviews to deployment workflows. I believe the best engineering leaders don't just manage; they multiply their team's capabilities by bringing the right tools and the right culture together.
