About me
Turning Complex Ideas into Simple Solutions
From sketching layouts in design class to coding real interfaces, my journey from graphic design to frontend development has been fueled by curiosity and creativity.
I discovered frontend while studying at BTEC FPT and began teaching myself how to turn visuals into interactive, responsive websites. That passion led me to an internship at a company in Ho Chi Minh City—and I haven't looked back since.
With over 3 years of experience, I now craft web experiences that not only look good but also feel right. I'm driven by the joy of solving problems and building tools that make life easier.

Clients Served
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with modern frontend technologies like ReactJS, Next.js, Material UI, building everything from landing pages to full-scale applications. My background in design allows me to bridge the gap between aesthetics and functionality, ensuring that every component I build is both visually consistent and user-friendly. I'm a strong believer in clean code, continuous learning, and collaboration—because great products are never built alone.
Resume
Education and Practical experience
My formal education began in the field of Graphic Design at BTEC FPT , where I built a solid understanding of composition, color theory, and user-focused design. While studying, I became increasingly interested in how interfaces function beyond static visuals, which led me to explore web development on my own time. Rather than treating code as a tool for execution, I saw it as a new form of creative expression.
To gain hands-on experience, I pursued an internship at a tech company in Ho Chi Minh City, where I worked on real projects and learned how to collaborate within a development team. This experience not only deepened my technical skills but also taught me the value of maintainable code, version control, and agile workflows. Since then, I've consistently expanded my knowledge through continuous learning and real-world projects—transforming from a designer who can code into a frontend developer with a strong design instinct.
