My journey

2024

Major declared:
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

After spending some time exploring the world of coding, I realized that I can actually code and feel excited whenever I do so. I’ve grown to love discussing coding and related topics with others. Initially, I was hesitant to declare a major in this field, fearing I might not be good enough. However, the more I learn, the more everything makes sense, and I’ve also gained valuable insights from others. I’m especially grateful to a friend, whose love for coding inspired me to discover its beauty and who believed in my potential and ability to achieve what I want. Participating in my second hackathon, our team won first prize.

My sophmore year!
"Well, let's rock this!"

I applied for the Silicon Valley Internship Program and was selected as a software engineer for Studio Corsair. During this internship, I learned zsh, terminal commands, and bash scripting from my advisor, together with learning about web services and APIs. Within the school year, my friends and I also established the Vietnamese Students Association at Lehigh University. Additionally, I was accepted to serve on the university student senate and became one of 30 Lehigh Senators for the 2023-2024 academic year, with responsibility for club affairs. I oversaw more than 300 clubs at Lehigh University, ensuring they operated smoothly throughout the year and held regular meetings with each club's chair.

Freshman Year & My First Time Coding

My first time coding ever was on my freshman year, I struggled, but my determination pushed me to understand coding in Java. I quickly learned that attention to detail and logical problem-solving are key. My first hackathon taught me valuable lessons in teamwork, respecting others' ideas, and listening to different perspectives. I applied to be the undergraduate researcher and got accepted, the research focus on the interpretability of a machine learning technique for bitcoin stock trading strategies, and we was awarded one of 5 most impactful research that summer. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate in such research!

Lehigh University: Accepted

After graduating from high school, I was accepted into Lehigh University (ranked #47 in the U.S.) with a Lehigh scholarship. During my high school years, I was an activist, a violinist, a leader, and a co-founder of the Vietnamese SEAGLE Project, which focuses on educating young people aged 15-25 on effective money management. One year later, our team successfully partnered with Atlantic Union Bank to develop a comprehensive website dedicated to financial education, which can be accessed here
