About

Versatile software engineer with experience in backend development, low-level systems, HFT tooling, and blockchain technology. Proficient in C, Rust, and the Linux kernel, with a track record of high-performance work on backend, HFT, and blockchain platforms. At Gear Technologies I helped develop and release the Ethereum ↔ Gear bridge and continue to maintain it. I've also contributed to open-source projects including MMTk, Racket, and Wasmtime. Based in Da Nang, Vietnam.

Experience

  • Software Engineer — Gear Technologies

    Apr 2024 – Present · Rust, blockchain

    Designed and built a testing framework that fully emulates the Gear blockchain, enabling integration testing without direct blockchain reliance. Developed and optimized smart contracts. Developed and released the Ethereum ↔ Gear bridge, focusing on transaction persistence, system stability, and performance. Built a fuzzing and property-testing framework from scratch for the Vara.eth dApp execution layer, which surfaced 3 critical bugs before they reached testnet/mainnet.

  • Software Engineer — VDX.tv

    Aug 2023 – Jul 2024 · C, Rust

    Maintained and enhanced a C-based backend codebase for stability and performance. Developed and optimized the runtime and compiler for an internal scripting language, improving execution efficiency and developer productivity.

  • Rust HFT Developer — Bare Metal Trading

    Feb 2023 – May 2023 · Rust, DPDK, F-Stack

    Built a low-latency trading platform, implementing a kernel-bypass TCP/IP stack on top of DPDK (F-Stack) in Rust.
