First Team at VNPAY
In March 2022, I joined VNPAY and became part of a small but ambitious team tasked with building the foundation for the VNeDoc digital signature system. This was a pivotal moment in my career - transitioning from a traditional software company to a fintech environment where every line of code could impact thousands of users daily. The early days were filled with intense learning, architectural discussions, and the excitement of building something from scratch. We spent countless hours designing the microservices architecture, implementing OAuth2 authentication flows, and ensuring the system could handle enterprise-scale document signing operations. The team chemistry was incredible, and despite the challenges, we maintained a collaborative spirit that would define our success.

Team Building Adventures
After months of intense work on VNeDoc, our team needed to step back and strengthen our bonds beyond the office walls. The October 2022 team building trip was more than just games and activities - it was a transformative experience that taught us about trust, communication, and collective problem-solving. We faced challenges that mirrored our work environment: complex puzzles that required everyone's unique skills, trust exercises that built deeper connections, and collaborative tasks that highlighted our individual strengths. The mountain setting provided the perfect backdrop for reflection and team bonding. During evening discussions around the bonfire, we shared not just our professional goals but personal aspirations, creating a foundation of mutual understanding that would prove invaluable in our future projects. This experience taught me that great software isn't just built by great developers - it's built by great teams who trust and support each other.

VNPAY-CA Thank You Party
December 2023 marked a significant milestone in our journey - the successful launch of VNPAY-CA, our digital certificate management system. The Thank You Party wasn't just a celebration; it was a moment of reflection on the incredible journey we had undertaken together. Over 18 months, we had transformed from a small team with a big vision into a cohesive unit that had delivered a enterprise-grade solution handling thousands of digital certificates daily. The project had pushed us to our limits - we learned about PKI infrastructure, certificate lifecycle management, and the intricacies of digital signature validation. The recognition ceremony was particularly meaningful because it acknowledged not just the technical achievements, but the collaborative spirit, late-night debugging sessions, and the unwavering support we provided each other during challenging phases. As I looked around the room that evening, I realized that we hadn't just built a software system - we had built lasting professional relationships and gained invaluable experience that would shape our careers forever.

Intense Project Work Moments
The period from 2023 to 2024 was defined by intensity, growth, and the kind of challenges that forge both character and expertise. These weren't just late nights at the office - they were crucibles of learning where theoretical knowledge met real-world pressure. I remember the deployment of a critical security patch at 3 AM, where a single misconfiguration could have affected thousands of users. The weight of responsibility was immense, but so was the trust my team placed in me. During these high-pressure moments, I learned that great software engineering isn't just about writing clean code - it's about making sound decisions under pressure, communicating effectively when stakes are high, and maintaining quality standards even when time is scarce. The war room sessions during critical incidents taught me the value of systematic problem-solving and clear communication. Each crisis we navigated together made us stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for future challenges. These experiences shaped my understanding of what it truly means to be a senior developer - someone who can not only solve complex technical problems but also guide a team through uncertainty with confidence and clarity.

Joining MSB Bank
March 2025 represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my career journey. Joining MSB Bank as a Senior Backend Developer feels like a natural evolution of my expertise in fintech, but with a deeper focus on core banking systems. The transition from payment solutions to banking applications brings new challenges and opportunities to work on systems that directly impact people's financial lives. The onboarding application I'm working on is more than just a user registration flow - it's the first touchpoint between customers and MSB's digital banking ecosystem. This role allows me to apply all the lessons learned from my VNPAY experience while diving deeper into banking regulations, compliance requirements, and the unique challenges of financial data security. The team at MSB has welcomed me with open arms, and I'm excited to contribute to the digital transformation of Vietnamese banking. This position represents not just a career advancement, but an opportunity to work on systems that can genuinely improve financial accessibility for millions of Vietnamese citizens.

University Graduation
July 2020 marked the culmination of four transformative years at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Graduating with a degree in Electronics and Telecommunications provided me with a solid foundation in engineering principles, mathematical thinking, and systematic problem-solving that would prove invaluable in my software development career. The rigorous academic training taught me to approach complex problems methodically, break them down into manageable components, and find elegant solutions. My final year project focused on embedded systems and IoT applications, which gave me early exposure to the intersection of hardware and software - knowledge that later helped me understand system architecture and performance optimization in my professional work. The university experience was about more than just technical knowledge; it was about learning to learn, developing critical thinking skills, and building relationships with peers who would become valuable professional connections. The discipline and analytical mindset cultivated during these years became the bedrock upon which I built my software engineering career.
