I work at the intersection of operations, systems, and governance. I focus on identifying where processes break down in practice and helping teams move toward simpler, more reliable ways of working.

I currently serve as a Trustee (Governance & Data Protection) on the 2nd Mortlake Scout Group Trustee Board in Richmond District (UK Scouts). My responsibilities include supporting governance, reviewing GDPR and privacy frameworks, and assisting with digital compliance and communication practices in line with the Scouts' Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR). This role reflects my broader commitment to ethical governance and community innovation — combining my experience in science, technology, and psychology to help strengthen accountability and digital safety within youth organisations.

I am Paing Soe Khant (Paing Khant), a Medical Science graduate from the University of Chester, England. I work at the intersection of operations, systems, and governance, focusing on identifying where processes break down in practice and helping teams move toward simpler, more reliable ways of working.

My background is in Medical Science, with experience in molecular biology and computational methods. Over time, I’ve expanded into data analysis, finance, psychology, and product thinking to strengthen judgment around trade-offs, timing, and risk — particularly in real-world, constrained environments.

I’m most effective when embedded in real systems with real constraints. I observe friction points, understand the human, organisational, and policy factors behind them, and design practical improvements that respect people, governance requirements, and organisational reality.

I'm deeply committed to continuous learning, not just for myself but as a responsibility we all share. I believe innovation isn't only about creating new things; it's about making the world a better place, helping humanity, and protecting all life forms that share this planet with us. I'm passionate about passing on my skills and experiences to younger generations because they are our future leaders, our hope, and the ones who will carry forward both progress and compassion.

Coming from Myanmar, I've seen firsthand how many brilliant and talented people around the world never get the right opportunities, education, or environments that match their strengths. It's heartbreaking, and it reminds me why we must help create chances for them — not just for fairness but for the future of the world.

I believe in being a polymath by learning across different subjects, exploring varied domains, and weaving them together to see patterns others might miss. This kind of cross-domain thinking isn't just interesting; it's essential. It's how we break barriers, solve impossible problems, and create innovations that truly matter.

This is what drives me, what keeps me awake at night with excitement, and what I hope every interaction with me reflects.
