Wesley Nguyen

Software Developer

About

I build full-stack software professionally, where the code has to outlast my attention span and the problems rarely come with instructions. Learning fast is the skill that carries over.

I got here by teaching myself to code during Covid, automating the tedious parts of my own life and shipping small tools to friends who told me the moment anything broke. That loop of build, ship, listen, and fix is still how I work. What I want next is scale: systems that hold up for years and reach enough people that the engineering decisions behind them matter.

Fun fact

When I'm not working or learning something new, I'm practicing Muay Thai, which keeps me sharp mentally as much as physically.
