01

The Researcher

Teaching machines to write software

I'm an AI researcher at FPT Software AI Center, working under the guidance of Prof. Bach Le and Dr. Nghi D. Q. Bui. I graduated early with an excellent Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

My research lives at the intersection of AI and Software Engineering — training and fine-tuning Large Language Models for code, and building agentic systems that can reason about, document, and even migrate entire codebases.

Findings of ACL 2026

CodeWiki

Evaluating AI's ability to generate holistic documentation for large-scale codebases.

Preprint

RustPrint

Documentation-guided agentic migration of large-scale C codebases to Rust.

Continual Relation Extraction

Keeping language models sharp as they learn new relations over time.

Currently seeking PhD opportunities in Computer Science — Software Systems and/or Machine Learning.

The Beautiful Game

Football is not a hobby. It's a religion.

When I'm away from the keyboard, I'm on the pitch — or watching it. Football has been my first love for as long as I can remember: the tactics, the drama, the ninety minutes where anything can happen.

And above it all, one name: Cristiano Ronaldo. Not just for the goals — for the obsession. The discipline to show up every single day, to outwork talent itself, to believe when nobody else does. That's the standard I try to bring to everything, research included.

03

The Summoner

Welcome to Summoner's Rift

Some people unwind with Netflix. I queue up for the Rift.

League of Legends is my second battlefield — a game of macro decisions, micro mechanics, and the eternal question of whether to rotate for dragon or trade for towers. It scratches the same itch as research: read the situation, commit to a plan, adapt when it all falls apart at minute twenty.

The Photographer

Chasing light across Vietnam

Between mountains and coastlines, I carry a camera. Amateur, self-taught, and happily lost in golden hour.
