about
i find joy in solving problems and applying them to real life through code. the excitement after fixing a bug makes everything worthwhile.
when i'm not coding, you'll catch me playing games, hanging out with my friends, or playing football.
i have a keen interest in personal finance - investing wisely, understanding how money works, and working toward financial independence.
outside of work and study, i'm passionate about helping fellow vietnamese students settle in new zealand. as an international student myself, i understand the challenges firsthand and strive to make the transition easier for others.
