About Me
Hi there!
I’m Hoang, a backend software engineer who is currently pursuing M.S. in Computer Science at George Mason University. Before graduate school, I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the Hanoi University of Science and Technology and then spent over 4 years working at a reputable Vietnamese fintech company, delivering large-scale software systems that serve millions of users.
My interests include database technologies, distributed systems, scalable software design, and I enjoy understanding how software systems really work internally to develop a more pragmatic engineering mindset. That’s why I’m into reading about these areas, along with best practices and current tech trends as well. Along this journey, I also try to document and elaborate on the concepts/techniques I learn, sometimes to share with others, and often so my future self can revisit the knowledge when needed.
Beyond work, you can find me in the gym, or out in nature wandering under the sunshine. Anyway, feel free to reach out or drop a message through my social links or email. I’m always open to connecting and discussing.
