Journey

How did I become a web developer? Let's take a look back...

At the end of high school, like other confused Asian students in the 2010s, I didn't know which major to choose in university. So, I asked my elder sister, an excellent graduate software student, and she advised me to attend UIT and major in Information Security.

Years later, with a Bachelor's degree I started job hunting which ended up as a front-end developer at a startup company where I learned a lot from my ex-boss Ethan and colleagues. We worked on various projects, mostly JS, from small mobile apps using React Native to NFT showcase websites with blockchain contracts in Solidity.

Then, AI became popular, Ethan decided to follow the trend. We started doing things in Rust and Elixir. It was fun until Ethan couldn't secure funding for our project, leaving him no choice but to close the company.

These days, I'm based in Hanoi, hardcore-ing at Dolphin Technologies as a Handy Bruhh.

My work has grown beyond the front end: web applications, backend services, APIs, and data flows, along with streaming and IPTV systems. Some days it's about building a feature; other days it's about tracing what went wrong and keeping things running.

I've also been building small developer tools and exploring AI-assisted workflows. Clear specs, code review, and checks against the actual system help me figure out what works. Still learning, still experimenting.

Me

Introvert, homebody who enjoys having friends.

Music ♪♫~ stabilizes my emotions and helps me concentrate. Try the button next to the logo in the header (•̀ ᴗ -)✧ changes playlist in the command panel.

Fashion and drawing sometimes make me feel good, like expressing my feelings through a sketch or mix-matching pieces from my wardrobe to create some nice outfits.

Life Goal: My loved ones all live happy lives.

This

Website is my space of experiments: interactive stories, small tools, visual ideas, and whatever else the browser lets me make.

Some ideas stay as notes; others turn into something you can play with. The site keeps changing as I build and learn.

Underneath it all: Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and components from Shadcn UI, Vaul, Cmdk, Framer Motion, and more.

I was greatly inspired by Danilo's website. I stumbled upon it while searching for Next.js Dark Mode and really liked his style.
