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...
