# Vincent Nguyen > Software Engineer at ScreenBeam Inc. Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/vincentnguyen1 Full-stack developer with a passion for puzzles and confusion. Experienced with Javascript, Python, node.js, React, mySQL, mongoDB, CSS, HTML, and more. I specialize in creating the logic and structure behind web development and I always keep an eye out for efficiency. I earned my Physics Bachelor from California Polytechnic, San Luis Obispo. As part of my courses and research I have created and utilized customized 2D line-of-focus stacking program written in LabVIEW as well as a particle tracking program written in Python. After graduating, I then went on to switch professions and earned my Web Development certificate from UC Berkeley Extension. The main reason I love programming is that with every new technology I learn I can imagine all the useful and novel ways I can leverage it. It makes me feel like I can do anything with code. Of course, I inevitably hit a wall but that’s part of the fun of learning. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ ScreenBeam Inc. Jan 2019 – Present | Santa Clara, California, United States ### Teacher @ C2 Education Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 SAT/Comp Sci/Sciences/Math Teacher for high school students. ### Student Researcher @ California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 Was the lead student on constructing a LEGO Brewster Angle Microscope. The Brewster Angle Microscope is a microscope used for imaging and studying films on liquid surfaces. Films can be as thing as a few molecules thick. The microscope was used in an upper-division Physical Chemistry course as well as for general imaging and research. For the project I helped draft and construct the microscope, and developed the LabVIEW program to motorize the cameras and lenses, as well as developed a program to parse through images and extract the reflectivity of biofilms. The program included a 2D line-of-focus stacking algorithm and numerical integration. I also instructed Physical Chemistry students in the use of the microscope during their labs. Prior to the instrument students had no way of visualizing the films. The project culminated with a paper published in the American Journal of Physics. Position was paid during Summers and for credit during regular quarters. ### Student Researcher @ University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Boulder, Colorado 10 Week paid Research Experience for under graduates. My day-to-day work consisted of imaging, extracting, and compiling data from liquid crystal films to determine their two-dimensional hydrodynamic properties. I also created and edited Matlab and Python scripts to parse data into graphs to present data to my supervisors.
