I am Dana Khaing, a Software Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with a First Class Honours degree in Computer Science from Royal Holloway, University of London.
My background includes building software across frontend interfaces, backend services, and data-driven application workflows through both independent and collaborative development. I focus on writing practical, maintainable solutions with particular experience in responsive web applications, RESTful APIs, authentication, and application logic.
I use GitHub as a place to document the technologies, projects, and engineering foundations that shape my work.
My latest portfolio is a retro RPG-inspired personal website that presents my projects, skills, education, and contact details through an interactive game-style interface. It is built with React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion, then deployed on GitHub Pages.
KUMA Social Media was recently expanded with direct messaging, realtime message events, active status, unread badges, media messages, and a polished chat composer. This work builds on the existing Next.js, Prisma, Clerk, Cloudinary, and Pusher stack.
FlowBit was also expanded with an admin panel, realtime notifications, cross-session dashboard refresh, audit activity previews, and operational controls around lucky draw reveal timing. This work reflects hands-on experience building admin workflows and realtime product features across a Next.js frontend and Django backend.
