Software Development Manager @ FPT Telecom · Bringing agentic AI into the software delivery lifecycle
An engineering manager who still ships code — and systematizes it:
turning ad-hoc fixes into standards, repeatable processes, and continuous improvement.
🎤 Mentor & Speaker
I hold a degree in Software Technology and have grown through roles as Developer → Team Leader → Project Manager → Solution Architect → Manager. Today I'm the Software Development Manager at FPT Telecom, a mentor at FUNiX, and a frequent speaker at universities and industry events.
Lately I've been focused on AI-assisted software delivery — I've built an opinionated, agentic spec-driven SDLC kit for AI coding agents (/spec → /deploy) and am currently piloting it with engineering teams to make delivery faster and more consistent. I stay hands-on through the technical projects below. My interests span Project Management, Business Analysis, Cloud-native & Microservices, Application Monitoring & Observability, Real-time ETL, High-Performing Teams, and Prompt Engineering.
How I work: systems thinking and root-cause solving over quick fixes — I build for standardization, optimization, and solutions that scale beyond a single project.
Outside work: running, badminton, coffee with friends, traveling and camping. 🏃☕🏕️
- Faster, more consistent delivery — I bring AI-assisted, spec-driven engineering practices that turn ad-hoc work into repeatable, standardized processes.
- Teams that scale — I build and grow high-performing engineering teams through hiring, coaching and mentoring.
- Technical credibility — still hands-on across architecture, data and AI/ML, so I lead with substance, not just process.
- Strategy into execution — I translate AI & data strategy into shipped outcomes and measurable improvement.
