Hi, I'm Thang

I'm from Vietnam.
I'm a software engineer working in Japan.

I can lose track of time when coding.
I like projects that give me something new to figure out.
One day, I would like to build my own shared virtual world.
This blog records what I try and what I learn along the way.

My blog Projects I have worked on Small tools I have built Experience and skills Site traffic and engagement

Thanks for stopping by!
