About

I started coding in middle school, but chose to study business instead because that seemed like the sensible path at the time. After graduating in Vietnam, working in Singapore, and spending nearly a year backpacking across Southeast Asia and India, I moved to Finland and eventually found my way back to technology.

Since starting my software engineering career in 2018, I’ve grown into a Staff Software Engineer at Ritchie Bros. My background in business, operations, and engineering helps me think beyond the code and focus on the bigger picture. I’m fascinated by how people interact with products, systems, and teams, which is why I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, architecture, and product thinking.

Highlights

  • Earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from International University – VNU HCMC.
  • Worked in operations, logistics, and production coordination before finding my way back to technology.
  • Saved enough money to spend months backpacking across Southeast Asia and India, collecting stories, friendships, and unforgettable experiences.
  • Moved to Finland in 2013 and started over as a student, chasing a new future in tech.
  • Graduated from Lahti University of Applied Sciences and started building software through freelance projects.
  • Married my wife, became a mother to Lilli, and learned that life can be both chaotic and wonderful at the same time.
  • Joined Mascus in 2018 and turned a childhood hobby into a professional career.
  • Welcomed Emilia to the family and upgraded from mother of one to mother of two.
  • Continued my journey at Ritchie Bros., growing into a Staff Software Engineer role while helping teams build products at scale.

Outside of work, I’m a wife, a mother of two, reader, traveler, and lifelong learner who never quite stopped being curious about how things work. If you’d like to know more about my work, check out my CV—or even better, let’s grab a coffee or preferably a beer and chat
