Profile: https://flows.cv/huongnguyen

Hello, I'm a software engineer with a background in Finance & Statistics. What drew me to a career in software development is my love to solve puzzles. Whether that puzzle is as simple as solving a rubik's cube or as complex as building financial models, the most rewarding moments are when I get to use my analytical skills to solve problems that help my team and business partners work more efficiently.

I'm passionate about learning new technologies and building solutions that improve productivity and quality of life. When I'm not programming, I love to dance, travel, explore nature, and learn about lost civilizations.

If you share a similar passion, let’s connect! I enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their stories.
