Enterprise technology leader in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
I'm Ryan Nguyen. I started my career as a game dev at Gameloft, then moved to software at NashTech, NAB, and Techcombank. I also spent two years as a tech consultant at McKinsey, and now lead the Developer Experience (DevX) platform at Axon.
Most of my work in the last ten years has been in banking, fintech, and public safety projects like core banking systems, sales and marketing platforms, and systems operations.
This is where I write about what I've learned along the way: architecture, platform engineering, banking systems, and leadership, with the occasional note on AI, people, and things I enjoy day-to-day.
