About Me
Who I Am
Computer Science graduate from UBC Okanagan with a strong foundation in full-stack web development and AI engineering. I build scalable applications using Next.js, TypeScript, and React, while leveraging hands-on experience in computer vision and machine learning to solve real-world problems.
Born in Vietnam and studying in Canada, I bring a global perspective to software engineering. I'm passionate about building things that are both technically rigorous and genuinely useful — from AI pipelines that detect pedestrians in the wild, to web platforms that help universities manage resources efficiently.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring how AI can be applied to real social challenges — like the wildfire-detection app I built at a UBC hackathon to support public safety.
