Thai Bus Watch
A phone-friendly system for finding Bangkok buses in real time, viewing nearby traffic cameras, and receiving Telegram alerts as a bus approaches your stop.
Independent developer · Thailand
I build practical software for the world outside the screen.
From live Bangkok bus tracking to crowd-safety games, I turn everyday friction into small, working systems.

Selected work · 01
Projects grounded in real problems.
Software is most interesting when it meets imperfect data, old hardware, public infrastructure, or actual human behavior.

Safety education · Browser games
Exitwise
Two lightweight games that make venue awareness tangible: remember alternative exits, adapt when a route becomes unsafe, and move with—not against—crowd flow.

Where Is My Bus?
An earlier Bangkok bus-tracking experiment that used public CCTV imagery, image processing, and geospatial tools to locate buses.

Tamper-evident logging
A small Python logger that records file changes in an append-only hash chain and independently detects edits, reordering, duplication, and rollback.

Curious by default.
Practical on purpose.
I’m Thanawat, also known online as kmhcool. I like projects that touch real life: buses that arrive somewhere, exits people can find, logs you can verify, and services that keep running on imperfect hardware.
My process usually starts with a concrete inconvenience. I trace the system around it, build the smallest useful version, then keep testing until the software behaves sensibly outside the happy path.
01
Product-minded engineering
Working backward from what someone actually needs to do.
02
Systems & automation
Linux services, containers, small servers, APIs, and resilient glue code.
03
Rapid prototyping
Turning uncertain ideas into something testable without unnecessary machinery.
04
Clear documentation
Writing setup guides and explaining technical ideas in Thai and English.
Notes from the archive · 03
I write to understand.
Older technical notes in Thai—early snapshots of the same habit: learn something, test it, and make it easier for the next person.

Have a practical problem worth prototyping?
I’m always interested in useful software, unusual infrastructure, and ideas that make everyday systems a little easier to navigate.
