this is me

i’m Hiền. i live in Vietnam, where i create things for the web.

i was one of those kids who loved tinkering with computers early on. instead of playing games, i was more curious about how things worked behind the scenes. when i was young, i got into programming — not by finishing big projects, but by getting excited about what could be built.

after school, i studied computer science and have been working as a software developer ever since. i really love the web because it’s open and instant — anything you build can be shared with anyone around the world. websites, apis, tools — they’re all just a click away.

in my free time, i like building side projects, exploring new ideas, and mixing design with development. i’m always curious about new tech and enjoy creating tools that are useful and fun. if you want to collaborate on something or just have a chat, feel free to reach out.

always keep learning

one of the things i love most about programming is that there's always something new to learn. here's a selection of some of the things i've been learning lately:

Astro
march 2025

Astro is a fresh breeze in web development, offering a lightweight and optimized experience for content-focused static sites. It has quickly become my favorite, surpassing even Svelte in simplicity and efficiency.

Supabase & PostgreSQL
october 2024

Exploring Supabase opened a new door with PostgreSQL, blending real-time power with a user-friendly interface. While MongoDB remains my favorite, Supabase offers remarkable flexibility for projects.

Svelte & SvelteKit
june 2024

Svelte is my passion in web development. With its simplicity and outstanding performance, SvelteKit powers many personal projects, including this website.
