Hello! Welcome to my humble (and hopefully fast) website!

This is where I plan to write all sorts of ramblings, whether it be my technical projects, thoughts on media I've seen, or just thoughts on life experiences.

about me

I'm a Vietnamese-American software engineer that recently graduated in the class of 2024 (go Terps!). In my free time I'm mainly playing video games like Counter-Strike with friends, but I also like watching anime, going on hikes if I'm not lazy, and wandering out to Washington D.C. once in a blue moon. Just recently I moved on from coaching local FRC Team 449.

In terms of engineering experience, my day job is related to reverse engineering, systems development, networking, and a hint of embedded development which is my personal favorite area. While it feels like most tech comes from advancements in web or ML architectures nowadays, I like diving into low level dev at the OS/machine level (things that are made to run fast are cool).

That about sums up the two types of writings you'll find on my website! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments :D
