Building things
that scale

Fullstack & Backend Developer based in Da Nang, Vietnam. I architect cloud infrastructure, ship production APIs, and turn complex backend problems into clean solutions.

About

Backend at heart,
cloud by choice

I'm a fullstack developer with 3+ years of experience, currently working as an external contractor at PlayNorth — building and maintaining casino gaming platforms (Kansino, Pika, Vincino) used by thousands of daily players.

My work lives at the intersection of TypeScript, AWS Lambda, and DynamoDB — designing event-driven architectures, hardening CI/CD pipelines, and solving the kind of production problems that only show up at 2am. Actively studying for AWS DevOps Professional (DOP-C02) as I transition deeper into cloud architecture.

Backend / API Design
Event-driven Lambdas, GraphQL APIs, webhook handlers with validation schemas, DynamoDB access patterns.
AWS & Cloud Infrastructure
CDK-first IaC, CloudFront distributions, EventBridge pipelines, monitoring with CloudWatch.
TypeScript / Node.js Ecosystem
Turborepo monorepos, pnpm workspaces, Vitest, esbuild, Strapi CMS integrations.

Slack Deployment Notifier

Built a Lambda function that sends rich deployment notifications to Slack with HMAC-SHA256 webhook verification, Block Kit message formatting, and environment-aware payloads. Integrated into the Forgejo CI/CD self-hosted pipeline running on Mac Mini.
