About me
I grew up in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam and now study Computer Science in Chicago. I build for the web because it is the most immediate medium I know. My focus is on web development. I care about how things feel as much as how they work. When I am not building, I am pulling apart other people's work to understand what makes it good or picking up a new tool just to see what it teaches me.

Skills
My main stack is React and Next.js for building full-stack applications, with JavaScript as my language. Everything is version-controlled with Git and deployed through GitHub. For database management, I use Supabase (I am learning backend so what I could do right now is using service hehe). At last, but not least, I use VSCode IDE with AI assisted Copilot for creating awesome projects.
