01. About

I am a software engineer based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Over the last 3+ years, I have worked across production web applications, internal tools, real-time systems, AI products, and e-commerce platforms.

My main depth is backend engineering and DevOps: APIs, databases, authentication, payments, queues, observability, Docker, Nginx, and deployment infrastructure. I also ship frontend work with Next.js, React, Redux, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS, and the TanStack ecosystem.
