Profile: https://flows.cv/phu

Since I was a child, I have got a huge interest in science and technologies. I was always good at science, especially objects relating to problem solving such as Maths and Physics. I consider myself to be a strong problem solver. The first course I took when I went to college in Vietnam was Visual Basic and it was an eye-opening experience. However, being born in a developing country, I had a very limited access to computer science field. Therefore, when I first came to the United States, I knew right away what I wanted to learn here. I have been a computer science student since then.

One of my other strengths is that I am a hard working person. I have been working very hard to maintain a high GPA at school while keeping a full time job since the first day of college. My first job was at FNTI corporation where I was put in their software team. My team developed the software which was able to compare two inputs to see if they matched each other. Since I did not have much experience in coding back then, my main task was testing the program manually. I was behind at first, but I tried very hard and was able to catch up with the team in only one week.

After three years in college, I gained a lot of new skills and knowledge. I believe with my experience, my strengths and my new skills, I can reach my career goal as a software developer.

Specialties: excellent skill in Java, solid understanding in data structure and algorithms, good knowledges in database management with IBM DB2, SQL, basic skills in web design using HTML, CSS and PHP.
