About Me

Thank you for visiting my corner. I’m Vinh, father of a girl and a boy, husband and programmer.

I loves math, programming, manga and poem. I work on infrastructures and developer tools. My code are used by developer for monitoring, debugging, inspecting purpose. My works is to help other developer build better tools by building tool.

I have been developing software professionally since 2008. Being a generalist, I can chime in and work across stack: front-end, back-end, mobile, devops, whatever it takes to get the product success. I used React a lot but venturing out into Svelve recently.

I’m interested in programming languages, compiler and intepreter design, the core fundamental of computer like CPU, Network. I have strong opinion on how to make software.

I write to learn more about a subject, and to share with the world, hope it will help some fellow programmer a couple minutes of their time.

I believe that programming is the best way for the poor to escape poverty. It requires minimal capital to invest in equipments, yet deliver an vast amount of power to run the web.

I runs a newsletter call BetterDev, a weekly newsletter with links about programming, video, some code repos to read and dev tools. You should subscribe.
