I am a lecturer. I have been teaching software development since 2007. During my teaching career, I have been teaching the following courses:

• Object-Oriented Programming
• .NET Application Development
• Web Application Development
• Introduction to Software Engineering
• Software Construction
• Software Configuration Management
• Software Architecture
• Software Project Management
• Software Engineering Capstone
• Cloud Computing (Graduate Course)
• Distributed Systems (Graduate Course)

I have an interest in philosophy, psychology, history, economics, movies, literature, music, and software engineering research.

I hold a PhD in Computer Science. My main research areas include:

• Software design, software architecture, software design patterns, multi-tenant architecture for enterprise systems;
• Software process, software project management for managing enterprise software development projects;
• Distributed algorithms and cloud-based architectures for enterprise systems;
• Applying natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) algorithms and models to cloud-based enterprise systems.

I am a practical person who advocates learning and researching through hands-on experience. I have been developing software since 2000, working in various industry roles, including Software Engineer, Team Leader, Project Manager, Technical Architect, and Solution Architect. I have designed several successful commercial multi-tenant enterprise systems.

My experience includes:

• Eliciting project ideas, defining scope, estimating and controlling size, cost, duration, and risks, developing prototypes and proof of concepts, managing software development, and improving processes;
• Evaluating and proposing architectures and technologies for enterprise and multi-tenant software systems;
• Selecting data structures, algorithms, programming languages, and frameworks to engineer desktop, web, mobile, cloud-based enterprise software, and games;
• Developing enterprise software systems and their ecosystems (services, desktop clients, mobile clients, web applications, add-ons, and integration with 3rd party and legacy systems) using
  – C, C++, Windows API, C++ Builder, Cocos2d-x;
  – Objective C, Swift, iOS SDK;
  – Java, Android SDK, AndEngine;
  – HTML, JavaScript, CSS, C#, .NET Framework, Windows Forms, ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, Windows Communication Foundation, ADO.NET, NHibernate, Entity Framework, Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services, Oracle, DotNetNuke, Kentico, Amazon Web Services, Okta;
  – PHP, MySQL, Drupal, WordPress;
  – Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL;
  – R and R packages;
  – Apex, Salesforce Platform, and Lightning Component Framework; and
  – React, Bootstrap, and Flask.
• Building Vietnamese speech recognition and synthesis models, photo editing software, text summarizer system using
  – Python, TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn;
  – OpenCV, Deep Speech, Tacotron;
  – PyTorch, StarGAN v2 and T5.

I welcome any feedback and suggestions for this website. My short-term goal is to document my experiences for reference and create a clear, step-by-step process for high school students and absolute beginners to learn software development.

My long-term goal is to create a space for a small group to discuss software engineering, education and training, research, and to share experiences.
