About Me
đ I'm Hieu Ho, a software developer with a strong interest in software development, open source, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and financial technology.
Besides coding, I'm interested in building tech communities. I have contributed to various national and international tech initiatives, including serving as a former Executive Member at Meta Developer Circle: Hanoi, former Student Ambassador at Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors, former DSC Lead at Google Developer Groups, former Speaker at Global AI Community, and former Deputy Executive Lead at SheCodesVietnam. 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 blockchain developer advocate, I also executed a variety of ecosystem development and developer relations activities in the APAC region including speaking at BUIDL Vietnam 2023, ETH Vietnam 2022, and serving as a mentor at 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 DSC 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 would love to leverage technological expertise to transform innovative ideas into impactful products.
I am looking for software engineering opportunities. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
