I like dreaming up ideas and making them real behind elegant interfaces.
Note
Most of my open-source work is React Native and Node.js libraries. Issues and pull requests are genuinely welcome, and I read all of them.
I'm a self-taught fullstack web developer from Vietnam, based in Singapore and building at TikTok.
I care a lot about the experience, the architecture, and the code quality of the things I build. A feature that works but is painful to use or maintain isn't finished yet.
I'm also an open-source enthusiast and maintainer. I learned most of what I know from the open-source community, and I love how collaboration and knowledge sharing happen out in the open.
A bit more on how I work
Most of my libraries started as something I needed on a real project and couldn't find, so the design bias is always toward the smallest API that solves the actual problem. I try to keep native modules genuinely native rather than wrapping a web view, keep dependencies few, and keep the README good enough that nobody has to read the source to get started.
I work across the stack: Vue and React on the front, Node.js and PHP services behind them, Docker and Kubernetes underneath. I enjoy the parts where those layers meet.
A few projects I maintain. Star counts are live.
| Project | What it is | Stars |
|---|---|---|
| vivari | An open-source, MIT-licensed WebContainer. Runs Node projects like Vite and Express entirely in the browser, with no server. |  |
| react-native-loader-kit | Beautiful native loading indicators for React Native, with 30+ animations and speed control. |  |
| react-native-video-trim | A native video trimmer for React Native apps. |  |
| node-scp-async | Lightweight, fast and secure SCP functions for Node.js. |  |
| WebRTC-Demo | A working WebRTC demo across web, Android and iOS. |  |

Everything else lives on my repositories page.
Watch a snake eat my contribution graph
How this page stays current
The hero above is a hand-written SVG: under 5 KB, animated with CSS, and it adapts to your GitHub theme on its own. It replaced a 5.9 MB animated GIF.
README.md is generated from README.tmpl.md, so edits belong in the template. The stats card and the contribution snake are regenerated on a schedule and committed into this repo rather than fetched live, so the main visuals keep working even when the services that used to draw them don't.
