My Story

I began my software engineering career at NEC Telecom Software, working on system design, distributed systems, and software testing. I then moved through engineering roles at Accenture and Fujitsu Philippines, supporting application quality, performance improvements, and technology research.

At FPT Software, I worked across front-end and back-end code reviews, unit and automated testing, and web application delivery—from requirements analysis to deployment.

Today, as a Technical Support and Facilities Coordinator at Aquire FMS in Calgary, I use analytical troubleshooting and automation to help resolve operational issues efficiently. My software engineering experience remains central to how I approach problems and build solutions.

Front-end and back-end code review, unit testing, automated testing, and performance tuning.
Development and improvement of automation tools that reduce repetitive manual work.
Cross-functional teamwork, mentoring, documentation, and clear communication with stakeholders.
