About

Crafting systems
that last

I'm Pao — a full-stack developer from Bangkok with over 15 years of shipping production software. My current focus is Rust backend engineering: building APIs, microservices, and CLI tools with a focus on correctness, performance, and maintainability.

I also build educational tools like PHP Koans and RustQuiz to help others navigate the learning curve I once faced.
