A short introduction
I'm Limsathya San — 陕炎烽 in Chinese, សាន្ត លីមសត្យា in Khmer. I grew up in Siem Reap, and today I study medicine at Kunming Medical University.
Getting here wasn't a straight line. I began with business at Build Bright, moved abroad to Tongji in Shanghai for pre-medicine, and settled into medicine in Kunming. Alongside the coursework I build software, make photographs, and create content — and I'm endlessly curious about languages, Chinese most of all.
What I spend my time on
Four threads that tend to run at once.
Medicine
Training toward a Doctor of Medicine at Kunming Medical University, after a pre-medical year at Tongji in Shanghai.
Software
Building small tools and interfaces, and learning by shipping side projects whenever the coursework lets up.
Photography
Documenting people, streets, and quiet in-between moments across Cambodia and China.
Content
Telling stories online — writing, short video, and the craft of sharing a point of view.

Let's talk
Always glad to meet people — about medicine, code, a camera, or a language worth learning.
