About
Originally from Vietnam, I am now a driven Information Technology student at George Mason University.
My passion for technology was first sparked by the satisfaction of solving computer problems on my own,
and I am now channeling that drive into a professional career.
I am most interested in applying my skills in web development, networking, and technical support.
To pursue these interests, I have supplemented my university coursework with hands-on experience,
and earned certifications like the CS50x from Harvard.
I am currently seeking internship or full-time opportunities where I can contribute my technical skills and continue to learn from experienced professionals.
I would appreciate the opportunity to connect with individuals in the IT industry for mentorship or to discuss how I can be an asset to your team.

Web Research Paper
A fully responsive academic research project designed to emulate the official George Mason University website. This site was built entirely with HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript to ensure clean structure and responsive design. The site was hosted through GMU’s internal server system using Cisco VPN and deployed via FileZilla over SFTP. All files were managed directly on GMU’s remote web server.
Research & Writings
The Role of Cryptocurrency in Financial Privacy and Cybersecurity
In my research paper, "The Role of Cryptocurrency in Financial Privacy and Cybersecurity," I conduct an in-depth analysis of the dual nature of blockchain technology. The paper moves beyond a general overview to investigate specific security vulnerabilities, such as emerging "pig butchering" scams, and examines the legal landscape through established criminological frameworks. By synthesizing data from recent industry reports and academic journals, this work highlights the critical tension between technological innovation and real-world security challenges.
Convenience at What Cost? Examining Technology's Impact on Human Values
In this paper, I investigate the critical trade-offs inherent in our increasingly digital society. It addresses key questions about the future of human connection, productivity-driven health challenges, emerging cybersecurity threats, and the large-scale impact of automation on the job market. The research synthesizes expert analysis to argue for a more balanced and critical approach to technology adoption.
