Hi, I'm Thuy
Welcome to my corner of the internet. Thanks for stopping by! (And actually, it's Thụy)
MSc in Computer Science
I obtained my Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Twente (UT), following my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT). [Photo from the UT Student Union.]
Software Engineer
For the past 2.5 years, I've been a backend-focused software engineer in the banking world, where I also enjoy pitching in with frontend work and actively exploring DevOps. My goal is to grow my skills and deliver reliable applications along the way!
The real me
My open-mindedness and flexibility in adopting new technologies and tasks, combined with a proactive problem-solving approach, fuels my continuous learning and growth.
Tech stack
For the backend, I often reach for Python and FastAPI for its speed and flexibility, or tap into the power of Java with Spring Boot. On the frontend, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS are my go-to. And when it comes to getting everything live, I use Azure DevOps, OpenShift, and Kubernetes to deploy my applications. But I'm always open for new challenges.
Location & Languages
I'm a proud Vietnamese based in the Netherlands. I can speak Vietnamese, English, and picking up Dutch.
" To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world."
That's my favorite quote!
Still cooking...
If I weren't a software engineer, I'd be a cook. I love everything about food, from cooking it to enjoying it. And it feels really great knowing that my cooking makes people happy.
Hobbies
Outside of the kitchen, I also enjoy traveling and exploring new places. I also love diving into the world of video games and board games.
