When I was 11 years old, after two years of only using the computer to play Grand Theft Auto Vice City, I suddenly had a crazy idea: “I want to make my own game.” So I opened Google and searched “How to make a game.” After browsing a few forums, I stumbled upon an article about programming games with C++, and that was the first time in my life I learned the word “programming.”

From that moment, I began my journey with code. My very first program wasn’t even a game — it was BBOS, a desktop interface that mimicked Windows 7. Looking back now, it was pretty rough, but the moment it actually ran on my computer is still one of the most memorable feelings I’ve ever had.

Twelve years have passed, and what still satisfies me the most is not writing beautiful code or chasing the latest technology. It’s building products that genuinely create value for users. For me, results matter more than the process. How can we make people’s lives a little easier, more enjoyable, or better after using what we create? That’s what’s truly worth pursuing.

In 2024–2025, I moved to Da Nang to start a tech startup. Together with a team of 7 people, we jumped into the blockchain space — building a crypto payment wallet and an AI app that recommended fun places to hang out. None of the projects became a huge success, but the journey taught me an incredible amount: how to design and ship products quickly, how to network and learn from more experienced people, and how to brand and present our work to the right audience. It was exhausting, but an extremely exciting chapter.

Today, I still carry the same fire I had at 11 years old: I want to create things that matter, and I truly believe that when you build something right, the product will tell its own story.

If you’re reading this, maybe you’re also looking for something meaningful. If you share the same mindset — using technology to solve real problems and deliver real value — I’d love to connect and talk with you.
