Building software and have fun

About Me

I am currently a student studying in University of Massachusetts - Amherst, major in Computer Science. Over the last few years, I have been working as an intern or as a collaborator on multiple fields that I am interested in, dabbling in new technologies in AI, web, and software in general. Coding is something that I really love doing, besides chess, games, and reading as my hobbies. I hope I can use my skill to do things that are impactful to the society, and help build a better future.

P/s: to say my name (Hưng/hɯŋ), say the "u" like the "oo" sound in "too" but smile instead of rounding your lips. I will be very happy if you can say it right :D
