Beyond the Code

Outside of work, I am an avid reader of tech and sports news, and I enjoy watching football and esports. I'm passionate about photography and planning domestic travel to scenic destinations across Vietnam, such as Tam Coc and Mu Cang Chai.

Lately, I've also been diving into the world of AI, experimenting with local deployments of open-source AI models like Ollama, Mistral, and Gemma.
