Htoo Tay Za
Build systems. Test science. Ship with intent.
Selected work
Research proposals, AI infrastructure, and science outreach. Each one has a different surface, but the operating system is the same: define the problem, test the claim, ship the result.
Physics & Research
Project Lead
CERN proposal on biopolymer radiation shielding for Martian applications.
Education & Outreach
Project Lead & Founder
U.S. State Department–funded hands-on science workshop for young researchers.
Software & Engineering
Author & Maintainer
Async non-blocking hierarchical memory for LLM agents.
What I bring to the table
Automation, APIs, and AI tooling built around constraints, observability, and clean handoffs.
Simulation-heavy physics work, experiment design, and documentation that can be reviewed by serious teams.
Able to translate between students, researchers, technical teams, and institutional partners.

About
Engineering meets experimentation.
I'm Htoo Tay Za — Jackmann on the tech side. I build production software, design physics experiments, and lead teams that turn scientific ideas into real outcomes.
My work spans two worlds: backend systems and AI infrastructure on one side, and high-energy physics research and science education on the other. I don't treat them as separate — rigorous measurement, clear documentation, and shipping with restraint apply to both.
As Co-Founder and R&D Officer at Fact Hub Myanmar, I direct technical operations for a scientific literacy platform serving millions of users. I've led international teams on CERN proposals, secured U.S. State Department grants for hands-on science workshops, and built automation systems that run reliably in production.
I'm admitted to Óbuda University in Hungary for BSc Electrical Engineering, where I'll deepen the hardware and systems foundation that already shapes how I build software and design experiments.
Background
Education, work, and recognition. Kept factual, because credibility should not need decoration.
