Machine Learning & Generative AI

About Me

Hi, my name is Khant Htoo Naing. You can call me “Hokfu” or “Turtle”. I am from Myanmar. I am currently studying IT in Thailand.
I’m passionate about using data to solve problems, and that’s what drew me to machine learning and AI. I enjoy exploring and inspecting through data and find solutions in it.
I am particularly interested in Machine Learning and Deep Learning with Python. I am also interested in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. I am familiar and have done projects with PyTorch and TensorFlow libraries and understand their workflows.
To further my skills, I’m currently diving into MLOps, building pipeliens, and monitoring models.
I am also interested in Generative AI and LLM Fine-tuning and currently working on developing applications with LLM and researching different Generative AI models and LLMs. I am also learning about agentic frameworks and architectures with LangChain and LangGraph.

Skills

Python

Intermediate

Python is my go-to language for machine learning and AI projects. I am familiar with libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn for Data Science and Sci-kit learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch for machine learning and deep learning.

Machine Learning

Intermediate

Datatalksclub’s Machine Learning Zoomcamp introduced me about machine learning in December 2023. I learned fundamentals of machine learning.

Deep Learning

Intermediate

Datatalksclub’s Machine Learning Zoomcamp introduced me about machine learning in December 2023 mainly image classifcation with convolutional neural networks.

Generative AI and LLM

Intermediate

I am currently working on studies that involves developing applications with LLM. I am also researching different Generative AI models and LLMs. I am also learning about agentic frameworks and architectures with LangChain and LangGraph.

Experience

Rangsit University Internation College

Teaching Assistant/Web Developer

December 2023 - April 2024

www.rsuip.org

I worked part time as a teaching assistant and web developer in Rangsit University International College for four months. This job involves helping students in developing simple web applications and my team also have to develop web apps for the college staffs and students.

NUOS Magicko

AI developer Internship

June 2024 - Present

I develop different LLM applications with Generative AI. I also have to research different models and keep up with latest generative AI technologies, and find the most suitable model for different projects at the company.

Personal Projects

Campaign Success Prediction MLOps Project

github.com/Hokfu/campaign_success_prediction_with_mlops

End to end MLOps project for predicting campaign success.

An end to end MLOps project for predicting campaign success. The project includes data collection, data preprocessing, model training, model evaluation, and model deployment, monitoring.

Classification of energy load type

github.com/Hokfu/Flower-image-classification

This project is the start of my deep learning journey.

I worked on this project as a capstone project while learning machine learning course. This project includes EDA, model training, evaluation and containarization of the model. I used Tensorflow and Keras to build a model that can classify between daisy and dandelion. I used a pre-trained model VGG16 and fine-tuned it to get the best results. The model is then deployed using Flask and containerzied with Docker.

Classification of energy consumption in steel company

github.com/Hokfu/Energy-Consumption-Model

This is my capstone project for my machine learning course.

This project is about classification of load type in a steel factory. In this project, by checking the energy consumption, power consumption, weekday or weekend, the model is trained to predict the energy load type. The trained model is then deployed using Flask and containerized with Docker.

This project is a fun project I made to chat with AI about turtles.

Chat with Llama3 8B instruct and ask about turtles. Streamlit is used to build this web applcation, and the Llama3 model is used from Huggingface. LangChain is used to build RAG architecture.

Education

Yangon Technological University

Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering and Information Technology)

2016 - 2020

Yangon Technological University is one of the top universities in Myanmar.

During my time at Yangon, I spent most of the time studying programming and computer science. However, due to the country’s situation, I left the university in my fourth year and continued my studies in Thailand.

Rangsit University

Bachelor of Science (Information and Communication Technology)

2022 - Current

Rangsit University is a private university in Thailand.

I continued studying in Rangsit University International College, Thailand. Here, I met amazing professors and friends who helped me to improve my skills and knowledge in IT.
