About Me
I've spent 15 years as a full-stack developer — leading teams at startups in Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and Singapore, and freelancing for companies across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America.
At ACX I build blockchain carbon exchange platforms with TypeScript, Node.js, and React. This blog is where I write down what I learn along the way.
