Hey! I'm Thanh, and I finally caved and made a blog. You know how it goes—you tell yourself you'll start one 'someday,' and then three years pass. Well, someday is today.

A timeline of my professional career and education.
2021 - Present
Frontend Engineer
I've spent the last few years building TaskFlow, a tool that helps Googlers manage their work. It's been a journey of learning Angular, RxJS, and how to build for scale. Lately, I've been exploring how AI can make our workflows smarter, helping improve quality and ground truth collection.
2019 - 2021
Backend Engineer
My first role at Google was a deep dive into backend engineering. I built a C++ framework for real-time traffic experiments and helped launch a new quality stack for the serving index. It was a crash course in high-performance systems and data-driven decision making.
2018 - 2019
Fullstack Engineer
The College Board / Contractor
Starting my career as a contractor gave me the chance to wear many hats. I built accessible UX with React, migrated massive datasets to DynamoDB, and modernized our architecture with serverless apps. It was a period of rapid learning and full-stack development.
2014 - 2018
B.Sc: Computer Science
Rutgers University
Graduating Magna Cum Laude (GPA 3.8/4.0) from Rutgers was the culmination of my academic journey. It laid the foundation for my career, teaching me the principles of computer science that I still use every day.
Engineering Mindset
"Simplicity is sophistication. Great software should be built through careful, deliberate folds—transforming complex problems into elegant solutions without cutting corners."

Core Value
"Strong opinions, loosely held. We must have the confidence to act and the humility to correct course when new information unfolds."
