Bùi Thành Nhân

I’m a senior software engineer specialized in web development with a strong focus on the backend and DevOps.

I have 10 years of experience working in a variety of environments: outsource and product startups, remote and onsite, with international teams across multiple timezones.

I also develop various types of open source software as a hobby, not only to solve immediate problems and satisfy my intellectual curiosity, but also to evaluate interesting emerging technologies.
