About Me

Hey there! So, I was born in Vietnam, did the school thing in New Zealand, and have called Colorado home since 2008. And you know what? I'm crazy about soccer, especially Manchester United – they're my ride-or-die team. But that's not all – I founded my own soccer club in 2023, the AFC Colorado Dragons. We hit the field for league games every Tuesday and Thursday, and we even organize this awesome Asian Championship tournament.

Now, when it comes to my work life, it's been a wild ride. I've done the whole big corporate gig, hustled in smaller businesses, and even dabbled in my own startup adventures. I've worked on everything from fancy web apps to cool mobile apps, responsive designs, and even delving into the world of Web 3.0 madness.

Professionally, my endeavors have successfully reduced unexpected costs, simplified data entry processes, and enhanced the scalability of platforms, all while ensuring customer satisfaction. Life is a dynamic blend of soccer passion and professional adventures, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tech Enthusiast: I harbor a sincere passion and inquisitive mindset toward technology, utilizing cutting-edge advancements to create exceptional products that align with market demands.
