About Me

Xin chào! I am Huy, an AI Research Resident at FPT Software - AI Center, working closely with Prof. Ngan Le and Prof. Tung Kieu. I'm on my way to explore the world in every aspect through my viewpoint lens by becoming a researcher.

Previously, I earned my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from the International University – Vietnam National University HCMC (HCMIU), where I done my bachelor's thesis with Lecturer Le Thanh Son. During my undergraduate studies, I also worked as an AI Engineer at VNG Corporation.
