About Me
Hey there! I'm Duc (/duk/), a software engineer with a passion for building 🛠️ My journey began in 2010 at a school summer camp where I first discovered Turbo Pascal.
Since then, and I’ve had the privilege of working at a networking corp, a research lab, a trading firm , and an investment bank. I was also a contributor for an open-source IDE.
Currently, I'm focused on building and maintaining the Machine Learning Platform that empowers Wealthsimple's core business to thrive.
Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
- Kubernetes
- Google Vertex AI
- Apache Airflow
- Meta Llama
- MLFlow
- LangChain
- Amazon Redshift
- Temporal
