Hen Heang Backend / AX Software Engineer

Hen Heang

I'm Hen Heang, a Cambodian software engineer currently working in South Korea. My primary foundation is backend engineering with Java, Spring Boot, MyBatis, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, supported by frontend delivery with Next.js and TypeScript.

My professional work focuses on enterprise systems, API development, and SQL-driven business logic. In personal projects, I have also integrated practical AI features and used Claude Code and Codex as development assistants.

I am growing toward Backend / AX Software Engineer through learning and practice in Agent Harness design, MCP, evaluations, DevOps, and system architecture. I care about maintainable systems, explicit decisions, verification, and software that solves real problems.
