Hi, I'm Panha
Building Secure
Backend Systems.
A Year 2 CS student at ACLEDA University with a deep passion for system architecture and backend development. I build scalable APIs, study security, and ship real projects.

}About Me
More than just code.
I care about thoughtful systems, strong engineering fundamentals, and building software that stays useful long after the first demo.

I'm a CS student at ACLEDA University with a strong focus on backend architecture, API design, and secure engineering practices. I enjoy pairing curiosity with discipline, whether that means shipping coursework, experimenting with public tooling, or refining the fundamentals behind good systems.

HOW I WORK
Full-stack thinking. Security-first building.
I don't just write code - I design systems, lock them down, and use every tool available to ship faster and smarter.
Full-Stack Web Development
I build complete web products end-to-end - from REST APIs and database schemas to the React interfaces users interact with. JavaScript is my primary language across the entire stack.
Web Security
I study both attack and defence - understanding how vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and broken auth work so I can build systems that don't have them. Security isn't an afterthought, it's part of the architecture.
AI-Augmented Development
I use AI as a force multiplier - Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT for code review, architecture decisions, and debugging. I know when to use AI and when to think for myself. It makes me ship faster without cutting corners.
System Design & Architecture
I think in systems, not just features. I design with scalability, separation of concerns, and maintainability in mind - layered architecture (routes -> controllers -> services -> repositories), caching strategies, queue-based processing, and API design that won't break when requirements change.

I capture details others overlook — macro videography and cinematic edits that tell a story frame by frame. Every cut is intentional.
Lifelong Learner
Reading and reflective study continue to shape how I build, communicate, and grow as an engineer.
