About Me
Hey, I’m Hưng. Software engineer by day, lifter by night, dreamer at heart.
At work, I build data pipelines on GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Functions) and write backend services in Java/Spring Boot. Three years in production, mostly cloud ETL work.
Outside of code, I'm chasing PRs in the gym, keeping fish alive (harder than distributed systems), and thinking too much about philosophy and the nature of ambition.

Philosophy
"Mưu sự tại nhân, thành sự tại thiên."
We plan, but heaven decides. Doesn't mean we stop planning though.
