Building Lyra Technologies
About
Hi, I'm Nam from Vietnam. If I'm not pushing buttons on the keyboard and moving pixels on the screen, you can catch me taking food pics at a restaurant or travelling around the world :^)
I've been coding all my life -- ever since I was 12. In high school, I built a community of gamers around my gaming servers called Risen Network, which grew to 3400 members on Discord and earned $50k via our e-commerce site. We were #5 in the US for the game called Unturned.
During my career, I've had the great pleasure of working with the best of the best in Sydney and San Francisco, where I saw first hand, how products were designed, built and shipped to the users.
Prior to my software agency - Lyra Technologies, I was a software engineer at Canva and also a founding engineer at a YC startup (S22), implementing specialized crypto accounting software.
In 2022, I've helped my roommates launch their candidate marketplace - paraform.com in just 6 weeks, securing them the seed round. Prior to that, I was an early engineer at Eucalyptus (series C), implementing health-tech solutions, and the engineer that implemented the SMS fraud mitigation system for Australia's biggest telecom, Telstra.
And I'm just getting started...
