A software engineer in Melbourne, Australia. After six years in corporate — Xero and Cash App — I'm currently building something for myself (with the help of Claude :P). If you have an interesting project, say hi! (I'm also not gonna say no to cool job offers haha)

/about me

I'm a software engineer based in Melbourne, Australia. I spent around six years building products in corporate — at Xero and Cash App — before stepping out to build something of my own.

Right now I'm working on artificialthuy.com, one of the first projects in this new chapter. Alongside that, I take on freelance and contract work — I love turning fuzzy ideas into shipped products.

What I can help with

  • Full product builds (MVPs)
  • Web development
  • AI / ML projects

/experience

ReactNestJSPostgreSQL

Australia's first AI supercomputer (legit!). Brought in as the web engineer to build the secure web platform for dataset uploads, working within a restricted HPC network and Monash's enterprise authentication. No prior code. No existing web layer. Just a brief and a deadline. My lead told me I delivered way quicker than he expected haha.

Greenfield to production
JavaDynamoDBKafka

Tier-0 service at Block — every send, BTC purchase, and card transaction at Cash App passes through it. Completed a MySQL → DynamoDB migration, keeping a live high-throughput system fully operational throughout. Learnt heaps about event-driven architecture here and understand deeply how load could influence the system.

AI version of yourself
Full-stackDevOpsTDD

Joined as an intern mid-Masters, shipping to production while still studying theory. Worked across four teams — product, DevOps, full-stack — over three and a half years. I did love working at Xero. Still remember crying (fr) in the last meeting with colleagues. Gained some lifelong friends here.
