About

Teaching, research, and building — one continuous practice.

I have spent over twenty years at the intersection of teaching, research, and software development. My work lives where AI meets real constraints: a classroom in Da Nang, a government research lab, and multiple ventures building AI products from the ground up.

At the Vietnam-Korea University of ICT, I teach Software Engineering, Project Management, Mobile Programming, and Agentic Engineering — courses drawn directly from applied projects, with real datasets and real failure modes. My PhD in Computer Science forced me to be rigorous; two decades of teaching forced me to be clear; and building products forced me to be honest about the gap between theory and deployment.
