I run a solo product studio in Hồ Chí Minh City, building software where AI isn't a feature — it's the heart.
I believe the next decade of tech will be defined by judgement, not just more buttons. My craft is about curating that judgement to create a calmer way to use a phone.
My taste and frugality were forged in Saigon's alleyways and street stalls. I'm mobile-first, security-paranoid, and unfashionably patient.
With three apps and two SaaS tracks already shipped — and more in the works — my work is a growing argument for a better digital life. The rest is just housekeeping.

I design the conversation.

III.
Latency is a moral issue.
Every spinner is a small theft of the user's time.
-
IV.
Security is hospitality.
Encryption is how I lay the table.

V.
Ship the boring parts well.
Magic is just very tidy plumbing.
