About Me

I’m a Vietnamese immigrant who came to the U.S. at 16. My dad worked as an electrician, and I grew up playing with his tools. That early curiosity is a big part of why I enjoy technology today.

Although my first big adventure in New York after moving here in 2012 was trying to start a headshot and wedding photography business, that curiosity eventually steered me toward technology. These days, I work in tech and love the challenge of solving complex problems.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Cooking dinner every night has become something I look forward to; it’s my way of unwinding and staying creative. I also bike whenever I can, and when the weather’s right, I’ll take long rides to clear my head.

Travel is another big part of my life. My wife and I love exploring new places together, from Thailand and Vietnam in 2023 to Japan in the summer of 2025. At home, I tinker with projects that are both practical and enjoyable, such as setting up our local DNS server on a Raspberry Pi, configuring smart home systems, and working on home improvement projects.
