About Nguyễn Tiến Khang
I am Khang, a Computer Science student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, VNU-HCM. My main focus is full-stack development, backend systems, and software testing.
I have worked on academic and independent projects using React, TypeScript, NestJS, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Postman, and Selenium. Most of my experience so far has been around building RESTful APIs, designing database models, connecting frontend features with backend services, and testing APIs or user workflows to make sure the system behaves as expected.
As an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the Data Science Lab, I worked with FastAPI and PostgreSQL to support data-ingestion and management workflows for computer vision systems. That experience helped me understand backend development in a more realistic setting, where the code has to support an actual technical workflow instead of only passing a classroom requirement.
My projects include a restaurant management system, a mobile museum companion application, a university library management system, and a simplified secure communication protocol based on the Noise Protocol Framework. They have helped me get more comfortable structuring applications, debugging problems, working with databases, and thinking through how different parts of a system connect.
I am still early in my professional career, but I take software engineering seriously. I am looking for opportunities in full-stack development, backend engineering, or software testing where I can keep learning, work with real engineering practices, and contribute to useful, well-built software.
