System Architecture
  • Designed end-to-end AWS system architecture — multi-AZ, service mesh, network topology, VPC design
  • Architected infrastructure supporting tens of millions of monthly visits
Reliability Engineering
  • Managed EKS/ECS clusters with autoscaling; maintained 99.99% uptime SLA every quarter
  • Defined and owned SLOs / SLIs and error budget policies across critical services
  • Benchmarked & tuned to sustain 5,000–10,000+ RPS; cut AWS spend 30–40%
IaC, CI/CD & DevSecOps
  • Full IaC via Terraform: EKS, ECS, EC2, RDS, SQS, Lambda, StepFunctions, API Gateway
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline & ArgoCD — integrated SAST (SonarQube) & DAST (OWASP ZAP) security gates; cut deployment time 30–40%
  • Embedded integration & load testing (Locust, k6) as pipeline gates before prod promotion
  • Optimized Docker images with multi-stage builds — lean base images, build time reduced 30–40%
  • Led monolith → microservices; VM → containerized workloads
Capacity Planning & Observability
  • SRE workload estimation, capacity planning, infra cost forecasting & budget alignment
  • Investigated & resolved production incidents end-to-end; authored runbooks and RCA reports
  • Observability: CloudWatch + DataDog + NewRelic; on-call rotation with structured post-mortem culture

About Me

The Person Behind the Infra

I'm a Senior SRE Engineer and Infrastructure Leader based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Over 8 years in IT — 4 building on-premises infrastructure from scratch, and 5 deep in AWS — I've developed a focus on systems that are genuinely reliable, not just SLA-compliant on paper.

At Vietlink Ads, I lead the SRE team and own the AWS infrastructure serving tens of millions of users monthly. Before that, at VNG Corporation — Vietnam's largest internet company — I worked on everything from bare-metal Kubernetes to petabyte-scale Ceph clusters.

My philosophy: infrastructure should be invisible. Fast, resilient, and cost-efficient — so engineering teams can ship features without worrying about the floor beneath them.

I've operated across diverse engagement models — in-house product teams, outsourced projects, and hybrid setups — and I'm equally comfortable in Agile sprints or Waterfall delivery cycles.

English: Professional working proficiency — technical documentation, cross-functional communication, and async collaboration with international teams.

🎓  VNUHCM — University of Science
Aug 2013 – Jun 2017
Bachelor's Degree in Physics — Informatics
Thesis: Installation and Deployment of Ceph Distributed Storage System  — Grade 9/10
🏆  Key Achievements
  • Maintained 99.99% uptime SLA — every single quarter
  • Cut AWS infrastructure costs by 30–40% while improving throughput
  • Reduced deployment time 50–70% with automated CI/CD
  • Led full migration: monolith → microservices, VMs → containers
  • Benchmarked systems to sustain 5,000–10,000+ RPS under load

Let's build something
rock-solid together.

Open to Senior SRE, Platform Engineering, and Cloud Architecture roles. I bring 8+ years of battle-tested experience in infrastructure that scales, saves money, and simply stays up.
