I'm a Tech Lead at a technology company. I'm a guy, and I'm 38. I wouldn't call myself old... but I'm definitely not young either. My birthday is in November 1986.
I'm currently based in Gia Nghia, but I actually grew up in Dong Nai province. I moved to Ho Chi Minh City when I was nine. I spent many years there-did my schooling, worked... you name it! Then, in April 2024, I relocated to Gia Nghia, which is now part of Lam Dong province. I genuinely love living here; I'm over the big city life.
Gia Nghia is a small town, and that's exactly what I like about it. Small towns are quiet and peaceful, and the vibe is... great. The weather is cool year-round, and the air is clean and fresh. I'm a big fan of the climate here! Plus, we don't have many big storms or floods, which is a huge bonus. The people here are also incredibly friendly-I really appreciate the community.
Besides being a Tech Lead, I also do some consulting work. I work remotely for a foreign company that doesn't have an office in Vietnam. I'm a full-time remote worker, and honestly? I love it! On the side, I advise startup companies on their technology strategy. I enjoy helping startups and sharing my knowledge.
I'm a huge tech enthusiast. I love to code! I've been working with computers for ages. Coding allows me to create new things, solve complex problems, and build innovative solutions. When I'm writing code, I feel a sense of joy... and helping others with their code is really satisfying.
I got my Master's degree online from Liverpool John Moores University in England. I did the whole program from Vietnam; I never actually had to go to the UK. I put in the hard work and earned that degree, and I'm really proud of my education! I think online education is excellent because it lets me study from anywhere and at my own pace. Even now, I'm constantly learning-reading books, watching educational videos, and taking online courses. Learning is a cornerstone of my life.
I also enjoy traveling. It's a great way to discover new places, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. Travel helps me get a better handle on the world and learn from others' perspectives.
I am a religious person; I'm Catholic. My church is super close-just a five-minute drive from my house. I like the drive, and the church is right next to a beautiful lake. I go to church every Sunday. My faith is very important to me; I pray to God and feel peaceful... and close to Him when I'm there.
I believe in the power of sharing and helping others. I love sharing my tech knowledge. If someone has a question or needs advice, I always try to help and offer my perspective. I think sharing and supporting each other is essential.
I live with my mother and my younger brother here in Gia Nghia. I love them both dearly. My mom takes care of the house, and my brother and I help out. We're a close family-we eat, talk, and spend quality time together. Family makes me happy.
I'm currently not married and don't have kids. People sometimes ask me about marriage, and I just tell them... I'm waiting for the right time. I'm happy with where I am right now-I enjoy my work, my family, and my friends.
I have friends all over the place: Ho Chi Minh City, Gia Nghia, and even in other countries. I value my friends a lot and strive to be a good friend to them. I'm there when they need help, and I listen when they want to talk. Friendship is crucial; good friends truly make life better.
I love being close to nature. In Gia Nghia, I have mountains and forests right nearby. I enjoy walking in nature; it's when I get to think about life and just... relax. Being outdoors is good for my soul and helps me find peace.
Though I work in technology, I know I need time to disconnect. I make sure to turn off my computer and put down my phone sometimes. Balance is key-I need time to rest and think so I can recharge and work more effectively.
I'm an avid reader. I read about technology, business, and life in general. Reading helps me learn and grow. A good book inspires me, and when I learn something new, I can't wait to share it!
I see myself as both a teacher and a student. I teach others about tech, but I also learn constantly from my team, my clients, and even my own mistakes. Everyone has something to teach, and I truly believe learning never stops.
My most important roles are as a son and a brother. My mom is getting older, and I want to be a good son, taking care of her just as she cared for me. I want to make her happy and proud. My brother and I support each other-we offer advice and help whenever needed. Family is the absolute most important thing.
I think a lot about the future. I want to keep learning, keep growing, and get better at my job and as a person. I have goals and dreams, and I'm working hard every day to achieve them and make them a reality!
I'm incredibly grateful for my life: my good job, wonderful family, great friends, and good health. I don't take any of it for granted. I try to remember how lucky I am every single day.
I believe in hard work. Nothing comes easy; you have to work for what you want. I give my best every day. When things get tough or I hit a roadblock, I don't give up-I keep pushing forward.
I also deeply believe in kindness. I try to be kind, patient, and understanding with everyone I meet. Everyone is fighting their own battles and has a unique story. Being kind and helping others makes me feel happy and good about myself.
I love my life and who I am. I'm not perfect, and I make mistakes... but I learn from them and strive to improve. Every day is a fresh start and a chance to be better!
My hope for the future is to keep learning and growing, continue helping others, make my family proud, and simply be a good person. That's what matters most to me.
So, that's me! I'm Vu Le Huan-a Tech Lead, a consultant, a son, a brother, a friend, a lifelong learner, a teacher... and I'm grateful for every bit of it.
