Born and raised in the organized chaos of Ho Chi Minh City, I’ve always found beauty in the buzz. To me, a city is just a complex system of people, coffee, and stories—much like the code I write today.

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience, I specialize in building scalable microservices and intuitive front-ends.

At nextech3d.ai I migrated a PHP monolith to a Java microservices architecture, achieving a 400% reduction in latency. I have grown up living amongst all kinds of people around the world, making me open to all kinds of experiences and enthusiastic about embracing anomalies.
