About me
👋 Hello! I'm Hieu Ho, a software developer with a strong interest in Software Development, Open Source, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Financial Engineering.
Besides coding, I'm interested in building and nurturing tech communities. I have been part of
various national and international tech initiatives, including the Meta Developer Circle in Hanoi,
Google Developer Student Clubs, Global AI Community, SheCodesVietnam, and GirlScriptIndia. These
experiences have enabled me to develop skills and gain knowledge in the tech industry while also
helping me to create a thriving community that empowers individuals to enhance their technical and
professional abilities.
As a Web3 developer advocate, I also executed a variety of ecosystem development and developer
relations activities in the APAC region including Speaker at BUIDL Vietnam 2023, ETH Vietnam 2022
and Mentor at the Scaling Ethereum 2023, ETH Tokyo 2023, and ETH Taipei 2023.
As an individual passionate about international relations, economics, and policy, I have taken it
upon myself to attend several global summits, including the Global Youth Leaders Summit 2019, the
Belt and Road Global Youth Leaders Summit 2019, the Google Developer Student Club Lead Summit 2019,
the Asia-Pacific Youth Labor Trend Forum 2019, the ASEAN-Korea Economic Forum 2022, and The
ROK-Mekong Youth Group Workshop 2022. I aim to leverage my technological expertise to bring about
positive change in our society.
I am looking for software engineering opportunities. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
