There's a story behind everything I create. I built this site as a home for them. For code, schematics, and build instructions, instead visit my GitHub repository. I also leave a little place here to write about other people I've met, who are doing interesting things here in Viet Nam.
Many of my projects are electronic in nature. I also write software (and other fictional works). Occasionally I design products and create brands. I'm an adequate amateur photographer, the images on this site are my own unless otherwise indicated.

I am one of very few immigrants to Viet Nam. My story is similar to immigrants elsewhere -- I came here looking for opportunities I could not find where I was. After some hardship I found them, integrated culturally, and continued to struggle with the language. In daily life, I'm effectively a Vietnamese person with funny round eyes and a speech impediment.
My hobbies include:
- Coding the unnecessary
- Prototyping the improbable
- Manufacturing the absurd
My professional life is not entirely dissimilar, although often less colorful (They must stoop, who gather gold). Mostly I manage engineering teams, but sometimes I design or otherwise produce software and hardware on my own.
