My Story
I'm a Finance student at International University - VNU HCMC who also builds production software. My work bridges quantitative finance, data analysis, and modern web engineering.
I'm particularly interested in applying AI, Rust systems, and full-stack web development to finance-related problems. I like projects where research meets implementation.
Outside coursework, I run personal projects, contribute to developer tools, and practice technical research writing in both English and Vietnamese.
I'm looking for opportunities where finance, data, or backend/full-stack engineering are core to the work.
