About
Hi, I'm Anthony (some call me Hiển, my Vietnamese name).
I'm a Full Stack Developer with a love for building and learning new things. I thrive on problem solving and enjoy working across both frontend/backend, designing system architecture, and continuously finding ways to optimize and improve applications.
Outside of development, I'm an avid gym goer, music lover, and guitar player. I also enjoy building custom mechanical keyboards for friends & family, which you can check out on my Youtube.
Experience
Professional
As a Full Stack Developer, I contributed to several projects, including a web portal for mortgage applications and internal tools designed to streamline the mortgage process. My responsibilities included developing both frontend/backend features, fixing bugs, designing system architecture, and deploying infrastructure.
I assisted in teaching undergraduate courses, grading assignments/exams, and providing support to students on programming concepts and course material. The courses included Data Structures & Algorithms, Object-Oriented Analysis/Design, and Intro to Programming & Algorithms.
As a developer in the IT division, I focused on metadata formats, primarily SDMX. I maintained and enhanced an internal VB .NET software system that organizes, generates, and validates SDMX files about Canada for distribution to international organizations.
Developed plugins for a collaborative robot using Java and Python. The two plugins developed were for arm calibration using a camera and controlling an independent stepper motor on the robot.
During high school, I participated in the FIRST Robotics Competition as a programmer for Team 4940. I focused on developing the robot's autonomous features using Java and integrating data from various sensors. This was my first experience in development and ignited my passion for programming
