Building reliable systems,
one merge at a time.
Born and raised in Đà Nẵng, Việt Nam. Started my career as an Engineer Intern at Paradox in late 2021, learning Python and Django from the ground up.
After nearly four years at Paradox — including a two-month assignment in Scottsdale, Arizona — Paradox was acquired by Workday in 2026, and I'm now part of the Workday team as a Software Development Engineer.
