In this period, I learned to:
but it wasn't mobile friendly, so you're now reading my 2nd serious Personal Webpage / CV ✌️
With my dear wife Quynh who accompanied me as we stormed the enviromental & cultural changes & survived our 1st harsh winter together on almost zero budget (boastworthy as we grew up in a tropical region)
Moulded in different business environments, startup to medium-sized corporate, spanning the industries: Digital Creative & Marketing, Online Entertainment, EdTech, Infrastructure & Hosting, I worked a variety of technical roles, both as IC and people manager, some including business management, customer and shareholder interfacing, and fund raising
In this period, I sharpened client-side & server-side software development knowhows, plus Linux server management, system scalability, and cloud engineering backgrounds
Major skills I attained at industrially productive level: PHP, ActionScript, CSS, Computer Graphics Manipulation & Animation, JavaScript, Node.js, Apache, Nginx, Linux Server Management, Geo-aware web-scaled software, On-Premise and Cloud-based software deployments
A memorable achievement was in 2011, when I managed a farm of 6 physical Ubuntu machines consuming a 1hr-long live-broadcast media stream for a concert event originating from South Korea and re-broadcasting it to up to 3000 concurrent viewers across the 1600 km length of Vietnam.
This was among the earliest web-embedable media players to be released to the public domain. Written in ActionScript 3.0 (an ECMA-family computer language created by Adobe Inc.), it was once a full-fledged video player for the web and served its purposes well for its market during this "dismal" age of the WWWW, when HTML5 hadn't been born and Adobe Flash still reigned the interactive media market. This was fun to write and I'm forever proud to have worked on it
Psss: I have a non-tech blog too, but let's keep this strictly 🤓 professional
Got a full scholarship. I think I did ace the application round, but my luck aced even more
Happy to have pursued my enthusiasm in digital media & IT, which I still enjoy doing today
It was actually an Invision Power Board forum. Very PHP, much Apache, wow
This event steered my life into the digital creative track, for better or worse 😉
